Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. In a small bowl, combine quinoa, almond butter, eggs, applesauce, honey, and vanilla. Mix well. Add the remaining ingredients (NOT including coconut oil) and stir until mixed.
- Grease a 9x13 pan with coconut oil. Spoon mixture into the pan and bake for 20-25 minutes. When bars are golden, remove from oven to cool. Slice into bars and store in the refrigerator.
Softer than I expected, but they are a perfect quick breakfast or snack. I like to take a bar and a cup of coffee for a convenient breakfast at work!
Mine turned out more like a breakfast cake but could be because I used old fashioned rolled oats and subbed some of that with coconut because I didn’t have enough oatmeal. Great flavor and very filling. Will make again!
These are quite cakey rather than crunchy and they crumble easily, but that doesn’t impact the flavor. They are a wonderful treat for my kids and I that I don’t feel bad giving them for breakfast or after school snack.
I really like these bars! I used 3/4 c. coconut flour and 1/4 c. almond flour, ground flaxseed and sliced almonds because that’s what I had on hand. I omit the raisins and added dried blueberries & Goji berries, Cacao chips and nibs in place of the chocolate chips, and because I love coconut, I threw in some unsweetened coconut flakes. YUM!!! I will definitely make these again.
