    Quinoa is often considered to be a ‘superfood’ and here is why.

    People seem to define ‘superfoods’ as foods that contain the best nutritional ‘bang’ for the ‘buck’. Simply stated, for every serving of a superfood, you can expect to get considerably more nutritional benefit than foods that are not considered to be so super.

    Not only do superfoods have nutrients that are beneficial to for better healthy, many are also contain antioxidants that can ward off cancer.

    In the case of quinoa, you can expect a good amount of fiber, potassium, and protein in every serving. Quinoa is a seed that is commonly grouped with grains because of how it is used and eaten.

    This recipe also has another beneficial antioxidant, blueberries.

    There are numerous healthy benefits associated with eating blueberries. Not only are blueberries low in sodium and fat, they are also a good source of Vitamin C.

    Blueberries have antioxidant properties in them .

    Researchers believe that blueberries can help blood and blood pressure. However, possibly even more important, blueberries can help guard against cancer.

    Here are some Tips for making your homemade Blueberry Oatmeal Quinoa Bars.

    I mentioned that that we will be using blueberries to make these bars. If you are unable to find fresh or frozen blueberries, feel free to sub in another berry instead such as raspberries. Even raisins are a good addition to this recipe!

    Here are some more great tips for you.

    1. Fresh blueberries are always preferred in this recipe however, frozen ones that are brought to room temperature are also okay to use. I suggest using blueberries that have not been frozen with any kind of sugar added to them.
    2. Have you quinoa cooked according to the directions on the package. For this recipe, I prefer a quick oat to a rolled oat however, you are welcome to use the oat of your choice.
    3. I am providing vegan alternatives in this recipe. It just seems right to do so since so many vegan readers on this site are fans of healthy recipes such as this one.
    4. Make this recipe even more exciting by adding chopped nuts or some dried fruit such as raisins!

    Here is how to prepare your quinoa for this recipe.

    I mentioned that is is best for cook your quinoa according the packaging. Knowing how much quinoa you will need to cook in order to have the right amount for this recipe can be tricky.

    Generally speaking, it takes far less quinoa uncooked to yield the quantity that is actually needed for a recipe.

    That is, usually you will need about one third the amount of uncooked quinoa than you need as cooked quinoa in a recipe. If you need three cups of cooked quinoa then plan on cooking one cup of uncooked quinoa to get there. However, you can also usually refer to the quinoa packaging for more details.

    You can easily freeze or store your blueberry oatmeal quinoa bars to enjoy later.

    I like the idea of individually wrapping each bar so that people can grab them when they are in a hurry. These bars should keep in a refrigerator for about a week.

    I also mentioned that I am providing vegan alternatives in this recipe.

    Also, have you quinoa cooked according to the directions on the package. For this recipe, I prefer a quick oat to a rolled oat however, you are welcome to use the oat of your choice.

    What you will need to make these Blueberry Oatmeal Quinoa Bars

    • Oats- 3 cups. I prefer a quick oat to an old fashion rolled oat however, you are welcome to use the oat of your choice. Rolled oats will provide a more interesting texture which some folks prefer.
    • Ground Cinnamon– 1 teaspoon
    • Baking Powder – 2 teaspoons.
    • Quinoa – 3 cups (measured after it is cooked).
    • Eggs- 2 or egg replacement such as a flax based replacer.
    • Bananas- 2 mashed.
    • Maple Syrup– ½ cup.
    • Coconut Oil – ½ cup. Can use a nut butter instead.
    • Vanilla Extract-1 teaspoon.
    • Blueberries- 1 cup

    How to make these Blueberry Oatmeal Quinoa Bars.

    • Preheat your oven to 350. Prep a square baking pan with Parchment Paper that hangs over the edges of the pan. This will make it easier to remove the bars for cutting (and clean the pan!). I also like to give the parchment a quick spray of nonstick .
    • In a medium mixing bowl, use a fork to mix together the oats, cinnamon and baking powder. The stir in the cooked quinoa.
    • Next, in a large mixing bowl, mix together your egg (or replacer), bananas, maple syrup, oil (or nut butter of choice) and vanilla extract.
    • Add the contents from the first mixing bowl (oats etc) to the second bowl with the bananas etc. Mix until the ingredients appear to be blended.
    • Gently fold in the blueberries using a spatula. Then press the batter into the prepared baking pan.
    • Bake your bars for 35-38 minutes or until they begin to turn golden.
    • Allow your bars to cool before cutting.
