Ingredients

Directions

  1. Prepare the quinoa according to package instructions and allow it to cool completely.
  2. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 9x9 inch brownie pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it with butter or baking spray.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, cooked quinoa, sugar, quinoa flour, salt, dates, and cashews.
  4. In a smaller bowl, mix together the vanilla extract, melted butter, maple syrup, brown rice syrup, water, and almond butter.
  5. Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients until evenly mixed. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan, pressing down firmly with plastic wrap to create an even layer.
  6. Bake for 30-35 minutes, until the edges are browned. Allow to cool completely before cutting. For easier cutting, chill in the fridge.
