Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Spread quinoa, oats, walnuts, chia, and flax on a baking sheet then bake until slightly toasted and nutty, about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, line an 8" x 11" baking dish with plastic wrap then spray plastic wrap with cooking spray; set aside.
- In a small sauce pot, melt peanut butter and honey until smooth and creamy over medium heat. Remove from the heat once bubbles start to form around the edges – careful not to bring to a full boil. Whisk cinnamon, vanilla and salt into the peanut butter mixture. Mixture should be thin – the consistency of melted caramel sauce.
- Place toasted quinoa and oat mixture into a large bowl then pour melted peanut butter sauce into the bowl. Using a rubber spatula, stir mixture until everything is evenly coated.
- Let mixture cool slightly then stir in chocolate chips then spread mixture evenly into the prepared glass baking dish. Use spatula to press mixture firmly into the pan.
- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until chilled, 2 hours or up to overnight. Slice into 16 bars, and serve.
Notes
- Bars must be cooled completely before slicing. For storage, I like to wrap each bar individually in plastic wrap then place in a resealable plastic bag for on-the-go snacking.
