Homemade Quinoa Protein bars

These are fantastic!! Early on in my journey, I would make these at least once a week to satisfy my sweet tooth.  Also, my kids love them. They call them cookies. I prefer them to eat this instead of processed cookies and junk food. You must give them a try!! Enjoy!

Ingredients:

2 cups cooked quinoa (I prefer the red quinoa as it has a little nutty texture)

½ cup natural peanut butter

3 Tablespoons Honey

¼ teaspoon sea salt

¾ cup gluten-free rolled oats

1 banana mashed

1 egg

½ cup unsweetened, shredded conconut

½ cup chocolate chunks (I actually use mini chocolate chips)

Directions:

Mix first 4 ingredients well. Add next 5 ingredients, spread out on parchment paper lined pan. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes. Once they are cooled, I use a pizza cutter to cut them into little bars.
