These Chocolate Cherry Quinoa Bars come together with ingredients like almonds, walnuts and quinoa, and are sweetened with maple syrup. I then top them with dark chocolate and tart, dry cherries.

Ingredients

FOR THE BAR:

  • 1/3 cup Almonds, unsalted, roughly chopped
  • 1/3 cup Walnuts, roughly chopped
  • 1/4 cup Sunflower Seeds, roughly chopped
  • 1/4 cup Badia Trilogy Health Seeds: Flax, Chia, Hemp
  • 1 cup Ancient Harvest Traditional Organic White Quinoa
  • 1/3 cup Maple Syrup or Honey
  • Fine Sea Salt, just a pinch
  • 1 tbsp Nutiva Squeezable Organic Coconut Oil

CHOCOLATE TOPPING:

  • 1 cup Hu Snacking & Baking Dark Chocolate Gems
  • 1 tbsp Nutiva Squeezable Organic Coconut Oil
  • 3 tbsp Dried Red Cherries, unsweetened, roughly chopped

Instructions

  1. Baking sheet: Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Make the bar: In a large bowl, combine all bar ingredients and stir until well combined.
  3. Form the bar: Place onto the prepared baking sheet, and spread a large piece of plastic wrap over the top. Use a rolling pin to spread the bar out to a 1/2 inch thickness.
  4. Bake: Remove plastic wrap from bar and bake for 20-25 minutes, until the bar turns a nice golden brown. Allow to cool slightly while you melt the chocolate.
  5. Prep the chocolate: In a double boiler, melt the chocolate and coconut oil. Spread evenly over the cooked quinoa bar.
  6. Let it cool: Allow to cool for 5 minutes before topping with the cherries.
  7. Cut into bars: Place in the freezer for 30 minutes, then remove and cut into bars.
