  • 1 ½cupsquinoa
  • 1cupslivered almonds
  • ⅓cupchia seeds
  • 1cupcrunchy peanut butter
  • ½cuphoney
  • ¼cupcoconut oil, warmed
  • ½cupflaxseed meal
  • 1teaspoonsalt
  • 2cupsdark chocolate chips

  • Directions

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spread oats, quinoa, almonds, and chia seeds on a baking sheet.

    Toast in the preheated oven, stirring halfway through, until golden brown, about 15 minutes.

    Mix peanut butter, honey, and coconut oil together in a bowl until thoroughly combined. Mix in oat mixture, flaxseed meal, and salt until well combined. Press granola mixture into a 12×18-inch baking pan.

    Bake in the preheated oven until bars set, about 5 minutes. Remove from oven; sprinkle with chocolate chips. Bake until chocolate is just melted, about 5 minutes. Spread melted chocolate evenly over bars with a rubber spatula.

    Place in the freezer until chocolate is firm, about 20 minutes; cut into bars.



    Cook's Notes:

    Toasted flax seeds can be substituted for the flax seed meal.

    A 9×13-inch baking pan can be used instead of the 12×18-inch pan if thicker bars are desired.
