Simple Quinoa Breakfast Bar

Ingredients

1 1/4 cup oats, dry
1 cup Quinoa, cooked
1/4 cup coconut sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoon flaxseed, ground
6 tablespoon water
2 medium banana
1/4 cup almond butter
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup coconut flakes
1/4 cup chocolate chips, semisweet

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9” square baking pan with parchment and set aside.
In a large bowl, mix together the dry ingredients (minus coconut and chocolate chips).
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the flax seed meal and water. Let stand for 5 minutes until the mixture begins to gel. Beat in banana, nut/seed butter and vanilla.
Pour wet ingredient over dry and stir together until fully combined. Fold in coconut and chocolate chips.
Transfer mixture to the baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake on the center rack for 20 – 25 minutes until mixture has started to brown and is springy to the touch.
Remove and let cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, transfer to a cutting board and cut into squares.
Store in an airtight container for 3 – 4 days.
