Quinoa Bars with Chocolate and Peanut Butter

To be honest his didn't really turn out the way I wanted it to. The chocolate stuck to the pan instead of the bar, and I added too much water, so it got kinda smushy instead of being crunchy... Next time, I will add more peanut butter instead of water to get the oats and quinoa to stick. But besides from that, these bars were really good and has a ton of fibre and other good stuff. And who doesn't love peanut butter and chocolate?


Ingredients:
1 cup oats
1 cup cooked quinoa
2 tbsp cococa powder
1/4 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup almonds
1/2 cup cashews
one portion Chia seed pudding
pinch of salt
2 tbsp agave syrup
1/2 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions:
1. Melt chocolate chips in a microwave and spread on a piece of parchment paper. Pour shredded coconut on top of the chocolate before it hardens. Let it sit while you prepare the batter. 
2. Mix oats, quinoa, cocoa powder, and chia seed pudding in a bowl. Cut almonds and cashews into smaller pieces, you still want them crunchy. Mix the rest of the ingredients into the bowl. If it won't stick very eel together add a little more peanut butter or agave syrup. 
3. Pour the batter on top of the chocolate and freeze until it has hardened. 
4. Cut into little bars and enjoy with a cup of Chocolate Mocha or some cold milk.



 Enjoy!
