Peanut butter quinoa bars

Audrey Egbert

2 ½ cups puffed quinoa

⅓ cup chia seeds

1 Tbsp hemp seeds

1 cup peanut butter (I used a smooth and unsalted & unsweetened one)

½ tsp sea salt

½ cup maple syrup ( or agave, rice etc…)

150 gr vegan high quality dark chocolate

Mix the quinoa, chia, hemp and sea salt in a large bowl.

Melt the peanut butter on a water bath and stir in the maple syrup. Now add this to the dry ingredients and mix everything together. I think this works best with your (washed) hands.

Line a baking dish with parchment paper and scoop the batter into it. Use your wet hands to press everything together tightly into an even rectangle, roughly 2 cm high.

Put in the fridge (or freezer) while melting the dark chocolate on a water bath.

Pour the melted chocolate over the cold batter using a spatula to distribute it evenly. Put it back into the fridge until cold and firm. Cut the batter into squares using a sharp knife.
