Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup melted coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup finely diced apple (about 1 small apple)
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the cooked quinoa, rolled oats, flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk the egg, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until just mixed. Do not overmix.
  5. Fold in the diced apple and any optional nuts.
  6. Press the mixture evenly into the prepared baking pan.
  7. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the center is set.
  8. Let the bars cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before lifting them out using the parchment overhang.
  9. Cut into 12 bars.

Notes

  • You can cook the quinoa ahead of time. Let it cool completely before using.
  • For a sweeter bar, increase the maple syrup to 1/3 cup.
  • These bars store well in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
