Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups puffed quinoa
  • 1/2 cup natural peanut butter, stirred well
  • 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of sea salt

Method
 

  1. In a small saucepan over low heat, stir peanut butter, honey, coconut oil, vanilla, and salt until smooth and warm, about 2 minutes.
  2. Pour over puffed quinoa in a large bowl; stir until every puff is coated.
  3. Press mixture firmly into a parchment-lined 8-inch square pan.
  4. Refrigerate at least 1 hour, then lift out and slice into 8 bars.

Notes

Chilling is essential; don’t rush it or the bars will crumble. Store in the fridge for the best crunch.
