Ingredients

Instructions

  • Grind ½ cup rolled oats into a fine oat flour - I used a coffee grinder but you can use a food processor as well. 
  • Preheat oven to 350F
  • Start by cooking the quinoa according to package directions, 1 cup uncooked should make about 2 -3 cups cooked. While your quinoa is cooking on the stove you can assemble the rest of the ingredients.
  • Combine dry ingredients including oat flour, oats, hemp seeds, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and baking soda in a large bowl and mix well.
  • In another medium size bowl combine chia seeds, milk, mashed banana, almond butter and vanilla and whisk until smooth and well combined. Chia seeds will start to gel thickening the ingredients.
  • When the quinoa is done add it to the dry ingredients, then add the wet ingredients and mix till well combined.
  • Spread evenly in a 9 x 13 greased baking dish and compact with a spatula. Just press the back of the spatula across the bake so everything is well combined together.
  • Bake 40-45 minutes until browned around the edges. A toothpick should come out clean and it should feel firm. Let cool 30 minutes before cutting into bars.

Notes

Recipe amended from 3 hours after original post: it said "baking soda" but should be baking "powder"
