Ingredients
- 2 cups quinoa (flakes)
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons vanilla or 2 teaspoons almond extract
- 1/2 cup maple sugar
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 2 large egg whites, lightly beaten
- 1/4 1/4 cup chopped dates or 1/4 cup chopped apricot
- 3 teaspoons cinnamon
Method
- Preheat oven to 250 degrees.
- In a medium bowl, combine the ingredients, except cinnamon, in the order listed and mix well.
- Place mixture in a 8 or 9 inch greased baking pan and press flat using the back of a fork or slightly moistened finger tips.
- Sprinkle the top with cinnamon.
- Bake 45 minutes.
- Remove pan from oven and cut into bars.
- Return pan to oven for 10 minutes until bars become crisp.
- Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack.
- Notes: Recipe can be tripled using a jelly roll pan (11X17). Bars freeze well. Granulated maple sugar is 100% maple syrup that has been cooked at a higher temperature. I have subbed with brown sugar in a pinch.
