Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup almond butter (or any nut butter of your choice)
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup (or agave syrup for a lower glycemic option)
  • 1/4 cup chia seeds
  • 1/2 cup mixed nuts (chopped) or seeds
  • 1/2 cup dried fruit (such as cranberries, raisins, or apricots)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
  • A pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare your ingredients: Cook your quinoa according to package instructions. Fluff with a fork and let cool slightly.
  2. Mix the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine rolled oats, chia seeds, chopped nuts, dried fruit, cinnamon, and salt. Stir until well-distributed.
  3. Combine the wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together almond butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Gently fold everything together until well combined.
  5. Line a baking dish (approximately 8×8 inches) with parchment paper. Spoon the mixture into the dish and press down evenly.
  6. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for about 20 minutes or until light golden brown around the edges.
  7. Let the bars cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes. Lift out using parchment paper and cut into squares or rectangles.
  8. Enjoy your freshly made quinoa bars. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-5 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.

Notes

These bars store well for up to 5 days at room temperature or 2 weeks refrigerated. Freeze for up to 3 months wrapped individually for convenience.
