Servings: 12 bars
Course: Snacks
Cuisine: American

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa, cooled
  • 1 cup coarsely chopped raw almonds
  • 1/2 cup ground flaxseed
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup unsalted brown butter lightly cooled
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a large bowl, combine quinoa, oats, almonds, flaxseed and salt, stirring to mix well. Fold in chocolate chips.
  2. Stir in honey, brown butter and vanilla extract, mixing well with a spoon until combined and entire mixture is moistened. If it still seems too dry, add additional honey 1 tablespoon at a time, but you don’t want it to be too wet.
  3. Line a 9×9 baking dish with plastic wrap or parchment paper. Firmly press the mixture into the pan, into all the corners and evenly top it off with a spoon. You want it packed as tightly as possible. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, then remove and lift granola bars out of pan, cutting into 12 squares. These work best refrigerated.
