Servings: 16

Equipment
Ingredients
- 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
Instructions
- 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.
Recipe Notes
As mentioned, 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.
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.originally posted:
