Puffed Quinoa Date Bars

Instructions

1 In a food processor or blender, combine dates and almond butter. Blend together
until you have a thick chunky paste consistency. About 2 minutes.
2 Then scrap the date and almond butter into a large bowl. Now add the puffed
quinoa, hemp seeds, chia seeds, shaved almonds, cinnamon, salt, and vanilla into
the bowl. Mix everything together until all ingredients are moist and sticky.
3 Line a 6×8" baking dish with parchment paper or tin foil. Allow some overhang on
the sides.
4 Then scoop out the mixture into the baking dish. Press the almond, date, quinoa
mixture into the pan firmly. Pressing into the corners and making sure there are
little to no air pockets. Press into a flat even layer. You can use your hands
or a heavy spatula to press the ingredients.
5 Now melt your chocolate. You can do this in the microwave or on the stove. In
the microwave: place the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe dish and cook for 3
minutes, stopping and stirring every 20-30 seconds. Or you can melt the
chocolate over the stove…I prefer this method. Bring a small pot with 2 cups of
water to a bowl. Then place a glass bowl on top of the bowling water, resting on
the top of the pot but not in the water. Pour the chocolate chips into the glass
bowl and stir the chips with a spatula until the chocolate chips have melted.
This will take about 2 minutes.
6 Immediately pour the melted chocolate overtop of your pressed mixture in the
pan. Using a spatula spread the melted chocolate evenly over top.
7 Then sprinkle your chopped pistachios and a few pinches of salt on top of the
chocolate
8 Place your dish into the fridge for 25 minutes or longer to allow the chocolate
to cool.
9 Grab the sides of the tin foil or parchment paper and pop the entire bar out of
the dish. Place on a cutting board and cut into 12, 2×2" bars.
