Ingredients
- 1/2 cup quinoa
- 2 cups rolled oats

- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp Sea Salt

- 1/2 cup buckwheat flour stoneground
- 1/2 cup slivered almonds

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350F.
Before cooking the quinoa, add it to a fine strainer and give it a quick rinse. Then cook the quinoa according to the directions on the package.
In a big mixing bowl add all the following dry ingredients: rolled oats, ground flax seed, baking soda, sea salt, agave nectar, buckwheat flour, slivered almonds, sunflower seeds, chopped apricots, unsweetened shredded coconut (love coconut).
Mix all the ingredients together, making sure to the agave nectar is spread throughout the mixture.
Spray a 9 x 13 pan with cooking spray, then add the cooked quinoa to the pan.
Add the following wet ingredients to the same 9 x 13 pan: unsweetened apple sauce and vanilla extract (for flavor).
Add the dry ingredient mixture to the 9 x 13 pan and mix all the ingredients together, flattening it out to fill the entire pan. At this point it should look good, it should smell good, and the consistency should be compacted together.
Add the pan to the over for approximately 20 minutes, and wait!
Then remove the quinoa energy bars from the oven and allow it to cool down for 5 minutes before cutting (and tasting).
Now you can give it a taste!

Hi Brad! In your food wars video you recommended to NOT buy agave syrup. So why use it for the energy bars? I personally love the agave syrup but after watching your other video I might exchange it for maple syrup or raw honey.
I usually put it into my breakfast fruit salad … should I switch to stevia/sukrin alltogether?thx for your videos! 🙂
