Gluten free dark chocolate quinoa bars
These look amazing! I like how they’re gluten free and relatively low in sugar. Recipe is from fANNEtastic foods - she has a great selection of “healthier” granola/protein bars.
Gluten-Free Dark Chocolate Quinoa Bars
Makes 10 bars
These bars are easy to make, high in protein, and perfect when you need a quick, healthy, on-the-go snack. Delicious, too! Slice and store wrapped individually in tin foil for easier grabbing and go-ing.
Ingredients:
Dry:
- 1 & 1/2 C cooked quinoa
- 1 C chickpea (garbanzo bean) flour
- 3/4 C brown sugar
- 1/4 C ground flaxseed
- 1 tsp cinnamon
Wet:
- 1 C skim/low fat milk (or non-dairy substitute)
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 C dark chocolate chips
Instructions:
Note: You’ll need to either have some leftover cooked quinoa on hand, or cook some up before you start this recipe. One cup cooked quinoa is equal to roughly 1/4 cup uncooked. Prepare with water according to the instructions on the box. Be sure to let the quinoa cool afterwards.
Preheat your oven to 350.
1) In a large bowl, mix dry ingredients. In a separate smaller bowl, mix wet ingredients, except for chocolate chips.
2) Add wet to dry, stirring gently until mixed. Add in chocolate chips and mix.
3) Poor batter into a baking pan – I used my 7×11 pan (about 2 inches deep), but you can use whatever size you have.
4) Pop it in the oven and bake about 28 minutes – fork check to make sure they are done.
ENJOY!
