Everything is mixed together in 1 bowl. That includes:
Uncooked quinoa (use any leftovers to make quinoa patties!) Oats (use certified GF if needed!) Nuts (your favorite) Honey Nut butter Dates Chia seeds Pumpkin seeds
Hitting major superfoods here! And there’s plenty of room for customization, too. I used almonds, honey, and almond butter. If chia seeds aren’t your thing, you can leave them out. You can also switch the nuts for sunflower seeds and use sunflower seed butter, making the bars completely nut-free. But my favorite favorite favorite part of all is the quinoa. It’s so crunchy, which is a deliciously awesome contrast to the softer dates, oats, and chocolate on top. Make sure you pulse the dates in a food processor so they turn into a thick paste. Otherwise the bars tend to fall apart. I’d like to apologize for how much this next photo resembles bird food. I promise you’ll love them!
