This fabulous Sea-Salted Quinoa Pecan Brittle is wonderful as a snack, dessert, with yogurt and fruit, crumbled on ice cream, salads or oatmeal. It's shatteringly crisp, uniquely delicious and takes MINUTES of hands-on time!
While flipping through a recent issue of Food and Wine I stopped dead in my tracks when I spied a recipe for Quinoa Granola. I was super intrigued, but when I read through the recipe, decided it was a little too fussy; cook the quinoa, dry it out in the oven, make a (somewhat tricky) caramel sauce on the stovetop, mix it all together then move quickly to spread it out before it begins to harden and is too thick. Definitely too fussy! So I checked out a few alternative techniques and came up with this Ridiculously Easy Sea-Salted Quinoa Pecan Brittle. I think you're going to love it!
Are you sure?
I found an easy technique for making brittle in the oven over at Minimalist Baker and ran with it, using my own unique ingredients (quinoa, pecans and sesame seeds along with maple syrup and brown sugar) and adapting the technique a bit. When the first batch emerged from the oven, I was certain that it was a failure. The finished product on the pan was spoonable and definitely not crisp and "brittle-ish". But I gave it a sprinkle of flaky sea salt and magically, as the mixture cooled, it transformed to a thin, shatteringly crisp, toffee-flavored brittle. YAY!
I was super impressed and couldn't stop nibbling on the delectable confection. It's buttery, sweet, crunchy and SO delicious! It need a name so I decided on Sea-Salted Quinoa Pecan Brittle.

How to use this Sea-Salted Quinoa Pecan Brittle
Although like most types of brittle, this Sea-Salted Quinoa Pecan Brittle is wonderful to nibble on to satisfy a sweet tooth, there are some other fun things to do with it. I like to serve pancakes and waffles with butter and syrup and add a small bowl of this brittle as an optional, delicious, crunchy topping. It's also fabulous on oatmeal, yogurt and ice cream.
A wonderful gift!
And it makes a delightful, unique gift! I dropped off a little box of this Sea-Salted Quinoa Pecan Brittle to a friend of mine. I just popped it in her mailbox and sent her a text. This is what she responded:
"You can quit the blog and start making these full time! I love the thin wafer-like quality. Thank you for this serendipitous treat!"
Because it makes a fun gift, we're sharing some gift labels to make your bags, boxes and/or containers look especially attractive.

We'll send the PDFs (two different sizes) for the labels right to your inbox along with instructions on how to use them and links for the boxes and ribbon shown in the pictures.
If you've got about 15 minutes (hands-on time), you can put together a batch of this Quinoa Pecan Brittle. Honestly, you won't believe how delicious this is until you take the first shatteringly thin, crisp bite. Just a little word of warning though, it is one of those treats that will be requested again and again. No one will believe (or has to know) how easy it is!
Café Tips for making this Sea-Salted Quinoa Pecan Brittle
- It's important to finely chop the pecans. If you don't you will have a pan full of delicious, crunchy nuts but NOT a brittle. You don't want nut powder but you do want the nuts finely chopped. If I'm in a hurry (and don't feel like chopping nuts) to make this Quinoa Pecan Brittle, I buy the pecans at my local grocery store that are labeled "Pecan Chips" (Fisher). Diamond brand calls them "Finely Chopped Pecans".
- Use whatever type of quinoa you have. I use Trader Joe's tri-colored quinoa but the plain white, a combination, black or red is fine.
- I like to rinse my quinoa before using for this brittle recipe. Quinoa has a natural coating, called saponin, which can make it taste bitter or soapy. I tried this recipe both ways, rinsing the quinoa and also using it as is. I didn't notice a big difference, so it's up to you. If you do decide to rinse it, be sure to drain it very well (as instructed in the recipe) before proceeding.
- Since quinoa is such a tiny grain, you'll need a fine-mesh strainer to drain it. Fine-mesh strainers aren't expensive but are super useful for lots of recipes. I really like this set with three different sizes.
- Be sure to line your sheet pan with foil and spray it well with nonstick cooking spray or use a paper towel to oil the surface.
- When you first take the brittle out of the oven, it will not seem at all like "brittle". If you try to remove it from the pan, it will fall apart. Don't worry! Just let it completely cool and it will harden and become nice and crisp.
- If you don't have pecans or prefer a different nut or seed, that will work too! Just use an equal amount and make sure the nuts are finely chopped.
- You could also use all maple syrup or all honey for this recipe instead of a quarter cup of each. We like the flavor profile with the combination of honey and maple syrup but either way, it will be delicious!
- Don't skip the flaky sea salt! It adds a nice gourmet touch to this Quinoa Pecan Brittle. I really like Maldon Flaky Sea Salt that's harvested on the coast of England, about 50 miles north of London. It's more pricey than regular salt or kosher salt but it's not the kind of salt you would use every day. Rather, it's a "finishing salt" which means you use it to add a delicious touch to soups, salads, desserts... you name it. Maldon has large, coarse flakes and is acclaimed by chefs for adding crunch and adapting to the flavor of whatever it garnishes. To use it, take a pinch and rub it between you fingers to break it up a bit. You'll be shocked at the wonderful, "finishing" flavor it adds.
Thought for the day:
May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ
and the love of God,
and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit
be with you.
2 Corinthians 13:14

Sea-Salted Quinoa Pecan Brittle
Ingredients
- ¼ cup quinoa, I used Trader Joe's tri-colored quinoa, but any color will work
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- ¼ cup honey
- 2 tablespoons butter, (I use salted butter)
- 3 tablespoon brown sugar, (I use dark brown sugar but light works fine as well)
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil, Coconut oil adds a really nice flavor but I've also used peanut oil and olive oil with good success
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 ½ cups finely chopped pecans, It's important that they're very finely chopped , If I'm in a hurry, I buy the prechopped pecans called "pecan chips"
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds, black or white
- flaky sea salt, I like Maldon.
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325˚F and line a half sheet pan (13x18-inches) with foil. Extend the foil over the edges of the pan so it’s completely covered. Spray the foil lined pan generously with non stick cooking spraying and rub with a small paper towel to ensure that it’s well coated. Set aside.
- Place the quinoa in a fine-mesh strainer and rinse for 1 minute under cold water. Drain well then set the strainer on several thicknesses of paper towels to absorb any excess water while you prep the other ingredients.
- Combine the maple syrup, honey, butter, brown sugar, coconut oil, vanilla and kosher salt in a medium-size microwave-safe bowl. Cook on high power for 1-2 minutes until the butter and coconut oil are completely melted. Stir well to dissolve the sugar.
- Add the pecans, drained quinoa and sesame seeds and stir to combine. Turn the mixture out onto the prepared pan and pat out to a thin, even layer. You can use an angled spatula or the back of a spoon. The mixture should cover most of the pan but don’t worry if it doesn’t get completely to the edges. It will spread out a bit more in the oven.
- Bake for 15 minutes then turn the pan to the opposite side for even browning. Bake for another 10-15 minutes or until a deep golden color all over. Watch it carefully towards the end so that it doesn’t burn.
- Remove from the oven. Take a generous pinch of the flaky sea salt with your fingers and rub them together to break up the larger flakes, sprinkling the salt evenly over the surface of the brittle.
- Allow the brittle to cool completely in the pan. Once cool, break into pieces with your hands. Store in an airtight container.

Thanks! Delicious!
Thanks for the great review, Linda! So glad to hear you enjoyed this recipe - we appreciate you taking the time to let us know!
Hello! I don't see any grain in the ingeredients list, but just to be sure are these brittle gluten free?
Hi Elsbeth, yes, that is correct, these are gluten-free. Enjoy!
These sound right up my alley! I love crisp simple biscuits/cookies or whatever you call them 🙂 Could I sub finely chopped almonds or cashews in place of pecans? In NZ pecans are not so available. Walnuts would be my alternative but alas, I have none of those either!
Hi Dallas, absolutely, finely chopped lmond or cashews would be delicious! Hope you enjoy this recipe!
Would love to have the PDF for labels. I have made these before and we loved them so planning on making them with Easter sprinkles.
Hi Sherry, Thanks for the kind comments! Love your idea of making this recipe seasonal with Easter sprinkles. The labels are on the way to your inbox - Enjoy!
This is a fantastic recipe! Made if for Christmas gifts, now making for birthdays!
Lovely to nibble on and sip a glass of wine.
Ha ha! Thanks so much, for sharing your review, Joyce. That’s the best way to nibble on anything!
So no cooking quinoa before use???
Hi Tammie, Yes, the recipe calls for uncooked quinoa, though we do recommend rinsing your quinoa - see the Café Tips above the recipe for more information. Hope you enjoy!
These rule. They are the best. I've made them twice this week and drizzled some with dark chocolate. Hard to say whether plain or drizzle is better as this recipe is ridiculously awesome! Everyone loves it!
Awesome! Thanks for the review, Claire!
I made this today to take to family Christmas. Due to health issues I am always looking for healthy recipes. I used all honey as I am not a fan of maple, Splenda Brown Sugar, Grass Fed Butter, and Avocado oil, It's amazing. So glad I found this will be making again for New Year!
Thanks for the review, Sandy!
I'd love to have the PDF for the labels! Can you send them in black and white?
Hi Kathi, we are happy to send the labels we have. They are not customizable.
I just finished making my seconb batch of Pecan Pumpkin Seed Brittle in as many days. This time it will be to give to neighbors, it is dangerous stuff to have in the house! Gone in the twinkle of the eye. Every recipe I have made from your site has been a smashing hit, thank you so much for sharing.
Yay! We're so glad to hear that, K!
Can you substitute the maple syrup for something else i hate that flavor
Hi Barbara, honey will work or agave syrup!
This is my go to hostess gift. Always a hit. Thanks Chris!
Awesome! Thanks for letting us know, Toni!

Awesome! Thanks for the review, Sara!
These look delicious. Always send something sweet to family can’t wait to make . Please send me your gorgeous labels.
Sure, Lorraine!
I would love to try this recipe and wondered if I could pour a thin layer of dark chocolate over it after it comes out of the oven. Any thoughts?
Yes, definitely pour some chocolate on! It is NOT gilding the lily. I prefer no chocolate but with is also smashing!
Hi Claire, Thanks for the great review and for sharing your experience of adding chocolate to this recipe! Sounds delicious - so glad this turned out well for you!
Hello! I love your ridiculously easy recipes and would like to make this one as a gift. May I please have your labels? Thank you!
Thank you, Roshan! Sending them your way.
Hi there,
very excited to try this recipe asap.
Could you please send me your gorgeous labels.
Thank you so much
Sure, Kylie!
Can chia seeds be added? Would you substitute for part of the pecans or a full substitution for the sesame seeds? I'd like to add them for nutrition, not necessarily flavor so I'm concerned omitting the sesame seeds would detract from the flavor. Thoughts?
Hi Mary, you can just sub them for the sesame seeds!
Hi! Can I have the link for the sea salted quinoa pecan brittle labels please? I know it’s last minute for Christmas.
Thank you!
I'm getting ready to bake for holiday gifts for my grand children. I would love to add your lovely labels. Thank you so much for your easy and healthy recipes!
Please send your labels asap. I have a cookie exchange I need them for tomorrow! I made two batches yesterday and today. Yesterdays I mixed walnuts and pecans because I didn't have enough pecans. Everything else in your recipe, I followed exactly. WOW - so delicious. My daughter immediately said "this would go really good with ice cream". Hehe. I made one more batch today, after going out to buy more pecans! I will be packaging into little plastic baggies, and putting your adorable label on top. Thank you so much for a fantastic and easy recipe!
That's great, Janice! Sending the labels your way.

Many thanks!
Thanks, Melissa! Sending them your way.
If I was wanting to make this sugar free and dairy free do you have suggestions to sub the brown sugar and butter? I was thinking maple sugar for the brown sugar and hard coconut oil for the butter?
Hi Robbin, I can't say for sure without further testing but it doesn't hurt to try!
Ok first batch burnt lol lower cook time for me it seems almost half 🙃
I double the recipe for a half sheet it filled out better with the adjustments I made. Omitted brown sugar and butter. I also missed that I needed sesame seeds 🤦🏼♀️
So hered what I ended up doing and it turned out great!
4c pecans(broken up in food processor)
3/4c tri color quenio (washed and dried as directed)
1/2c maple syrup
1c honey
6Tbs solid coconut oil melted and mixed into honey/syrup
4tsp vanilla
Combine all in bowl and mix well
Spread in greased foil wrapped pan and. Aked at 325 for 8 minutes on one side and 7 minutes on the other.
Sprinkled with pink Himalayan salt directly after pulling from oven. I live in Inman ks so temp amd time my need to be adjusted for altitude differences. But it looks and tastes amazing! Thanks for the inspo!!!
Thanks for sharing your experience and adaptations, Robbin!
Just waiting for my batch to come out of the oven. I don’t have the flaky salt but hoping ground Himalayan will do the trick. Please send labels…..so grateful.o
Sending them your way, Patty!

Thanks, Ileana! Happy to send the labels.
Hello! I am eager to make these. Just wondering if you have ever finished them with a thin layer of chocolate or if it would compromise the texture. Thanks!
Hi Rochelle, I haven't tried that and would have to do further testing to advise you on this.

Sending them your way, Kerry!
Hi, I made it last night. It’s delicious, but my brittle didn’t crisp up. It’s sticky like toffee. What did I do wrong?
Hi Sherry, so sorry you had difficulty with this recipe. It's hard to say, why the brittle didn't crisp without having been there in the kitchen with you. There are several possibilities- one is if it didn't bake long enough. Every oven is a little different so, sometimes the timing can be different. You don't want the brittle to burn but you do want a deep golden brown. The other possible problem could be that the pecans you used weren't chopped small enough. You really need finely chopped pecans for this to set up properly.
Is the quinoa cooked first?
No, no need to cook it.
Oh boy! What a great gift. It’s going on my list for Christmas gifting! I have all the ingredients already in the pantry. I’d love to receive your beautiful labels. Thank you so much! PS I often make your ridiculously easy focaccia!!

Lovely recipe. I am taking you up on your most gracious offer to send me the labels for this recipe.
Have you ever shipped a box of these? I was wondering for I was thinking this would be terrific to send to family for the holidays
Thank you and many blessings
Hi Joyce, I haven't tried shipping this brittle but it is more fragile than regular brittle. I would be afraid, with the way the mail is thrown around, that it would be crumbled by the time it arrived at its destination.
Cant wait to add this to my gift repertoire! Would love labels please.
Thank you
Sure, Gwen!
Your printed labels make everything special! Please send the pdf for the labels.
Thanks, Kathy! Sending them your way!
Eager to try this! Please send the pdf for the labels at your convenience.
Sending them your way, K!
Hi the taste is awesome! Everything I followed to the T. But it’s not holding. Kindly advice.
Hi Nandi, I'm sorry you had trouble with this recipe but it's really difficult to say without having been right there in the kitchen with you. Your quinoa could have been too wet, the pecans too big. I really can't say. I haven't had anyone else who's had difficulty with this recipe setting up.
The flavor was great! But mine did not turn out as a brittle, more chewy. I followed recipe intently. Nuts chopped fine, quinoa drained well. Should I have cooked it longer than the recommended 30 minutes?
Hi Deb, sorry this was a problem for you. Every oven is a little different, so if it comes out a little chewy, just pop it back in the oven for a little longer.
Thank you. I’ll try once again
Hi - dumb question... You don't cook the quinoa?
Nope!
Hi, can I substitute the brown sugar n just use more maple syrup or honey if I want to make a healthier version? Thank you
Hi Henny, I haven't tried it without the brown sugar so I'm not sure it will set up properly.
I don't know if you've tried the recipe yet without brown sugar but I was thinking if the recipe requires granulated sweetener you could substitute maple, date or coconut sugar.
Made this today with red quinoa and a mix of pecans and walnuts. Delicious! Would love the labels.
Thanks, Tere! Sending them your way.
Can t wait to try this recipe!
Enjoy, Sandy!
Love love love this Quinoa Brittle. Reminds me of a treat we buy in Mexico. Now I can make my own. I’ll be sure to share with my friends too. I’d love to be able to use your pretty labels. Thanks so much!

So happy you enjoyed it, Esther!
Do I have to use coconut oil? Is there a substitute? Please send the free labels. This will be great gifts!
Hi Maria, coconut oil gives a nice layer of flavor but any type of oil can be used.

Hi...I just cooked a big batch of quinoa..can I make these with cooked quinoa?
Hi Barb, that will not work.
Why wouldn't it?
Hi Barb,
This recipe was created to be a crisp brittle, using dry, uncooked quinoa. Cooked quinoa has too much moisture to achieve the same result.
Thanks
Sounds so yummy, please send me the labels. Thank you
Sure, Natalie!
I made this today. Mine was golden brown within 10 minutes. Next time I'm going to use an oiled silicone mat instead of the oiled foil.
Very tasty, thank you.
Thank you for the review, Sharon!
I'd love the PDF for the gift labels (for quinoa brittle) please?
Thank You!
Sending them your way, Heather!
This looks delicious! Unfortunately, I am allergic to sesame seeds. Do you have any suggestions for a substitution?
Hi Stacy, you could just skip them or add a few extra pecans.
Sorry to question what is probably the obvious, but do I cook the quinoa first?
Hi Lynette, the quinoa is uncooked. Enjoy!
This looks great! Just to clarify; the quinoa is not cooked?
That's correct, Adrien. Enjoy!
Looking forward to trying the recipe. Packaging looks beautiful! Can you please send me the labels to go along with the recipe? Thanks so much!

I am going to make this recipe this week! Please send labels!
Sure, Linda!
This is delicious and very easy to do! It's a bit hard to know when to remove it from the oven. I pulled it out, let it cool and found the edges had crisped up nicely but the middle had not so I reheated the oven and put it in for another 12 minutes. It turned out perfectly.
My only question is, they are a little greasy to touch. Is this normal? I ended up blotting it with a paper towel which seemed to do the job.
Hi Karen, every oven is a little different so you did things correctly!
Regarding the greasiness, you can lay them on a few thicknesses of paper toweling to absorb any excess oil before storing.
Thank you Chris! Could you please send me the labels? This is definitely a giftable recipe!
Sending them your way, Karen!
Could I please have the printable label for gifting. Thank you very much.

Sending them your way, Stacey!
I would appreciate the printable labels also. Thank you
Sure, Kathryn!
Is the Quinoa cooked first? Then rinsed, or just raw, uncooked?
Sounds delicious,
Thanks
Hi Kathy, it is raw quinoa. I don not rinse it but you can if you prefer.
Would l❤️ve the free printable labels for quinoa brittle.
Thank you so much
Sure, Melinda!
I Reduced the cooking time, but still overdone. Too greasy. I think you could omit the oil or some of the butter. I like there is protein and not just carbs.
Hi Bev, every oven is a little different. Yours may run hot.
Please send labels. This looks fantastic. The Scripture at the bottom was a surprise blessing! Thank you!
So glad to hear that, Joy! Sending them your way!
I would love the labels as well! Currently (impatiently) waiting for the brittle to cool! 🙂

I’m looking forward to trying this recipe. Do you know the amount of protein in an average serving and also how did you get such nice round pieces? Was the mixture spooned onto the foil lined sheet? I, too would love the labels!
Hi Terri, happy to send the labels. Regarding the shape, they might look round but I just break them into pieces.
You'll find the nutritional information right under the recipe.
Thank you for this recipe. It looks and sounds wonderful!

2. Can you please share the labels? They are so elegant!
Thank you!
Hi Katelyn, you could leave off the sesame seeds and we are happy to send the labels!
Really tasty and yes, addictive ! Especially with a glass of red wine!! I doubled the amount of quinoa and added 1/2 cup extra nuts (slivered almonds chopped up), no extra liquids needed and it turned out great!!

Made these yesterday for myself and my husband - I was lucky to get a mouthful; my husband demolished it.
It is so good, and foolproof, I have decided to make several batches as giveaways for my daughter's baby shower next month and I would love to use your printable labels to make the presentation more professional.
Many thanks

Love the idea of quinoa brittle. If making for a gift how long will it stay crispy? Would love the labels please.
Hi Lynda, I have kept this brittle for over two weeks and it was still nice and crisp.
My granddaughter is coming for Christmas holidays and all she wants to do is bake and cook. I have been using many of your recipes and never been disappointed. I have made the glazed pecans and the roasted almonds. so am going to make the quinoa pecan brittle when she arrives mid December. Would love to receive labels in advance to really impress her and to let her try her hand at this recipe as she loves to cook.
Thanks, Betty
I love that, Betty! We will send the labels your way.

Hi..i would love the printable labels for the Sea Salt Quinoa pecan brittle. Thanks! Lori
Sure, Lori!
I’d love the labels and links to the boxes if they are still available. Thanks so much for the recipe.
Sure, Beth!
Two questions. 1. I cannot process honey. Is there something else I can substitute it with? 2. I bought some pecan flour at the grocery store because I'd never seen it before! It is not very fine, like other flours. It is more like unblanched almond flour. May I use that? I am gluten free, so these look great! Thank you!
Hi Alene, to answer your questions, I think you could use 100% maple syrup instead of honey.
Regarding the pecan flour, it would be better to use finely chopped pecans to have a little more texture. With the flour you would end up using a fair amount more because it's much finer than finely chopped pecans.
0lease send the labels for the Sea-Salted Quinoa PECAN Brittle. Thanks.
Sending them your way, Linda!
I will be making these for my daughter, she will love them. Could you please send the labels.
Thank you so much.
Sure, Maureen!

Thank you.
Sure, Jackie!
Looks like another fab recipe. Please send the labels.
I am enjoying your site.
Sure, Gina!
Am I the village idiot? It never hardened up for me, but was still sticky when cooled. It is crunchy but sticky to pull apart. I couldn't make it any thinner on the pan without holes in it. I rinsed the quinoa. Did I not cook it long enough ? Wondering how I failed this recipe.....
Hi Lynne, it's difficult to say what when wrong without having been there in the kitchen with you. I would suspect that it didn't bake long enough. Did you substitute any ingredients?
I’m going out to get pecans right now!!!!!!
Enjoy, Kacey!
I can’t wait to try this. I’d like to make it vegan. I’ll let you know how it works using plant butter. Please send me the label as well - love the blue and yellow color combo you used - so cheery! Thank you, Chris!
Sure, Mary Lynn! And let us know about making it vegan!
Oh My! This looks DELISH! Please send the PDFs (two different sizes) for the labels to my inbox along with instructions on how to use them and links for the boxes and ribbon shown in the pictures. I'm too lazy this morning to type. 🤣 Thanks for Sharing!
Sure, Michelle!
Hi Chris,
Do you think pumpkin seeds would work well in place of the pecans?
Thanks,
Liz
Yes, that would work well, Liz. Enjoy!
Good Morning!
Just for clarification - this recipe calls for UNcooked quinoa, correct?? Thank you!
Oh! And if you'd send the labels, that would be great.
Thank you sooo much!
LoriDee
Yes, it's uncooked quinoa. You can rinse it if you like, just be sure to drain it well before adding to the other ingredients. Enjoy!
