Cashew Quinoa Granola Bars are the bomb. These may be the most delicious bars I have made in awhile. You definitely need to give these healthy granola bars a try!
A few notes about these healthy snack bars. They are:
- vegan
- gluten free
- grain free
- no bake
- chewy
- refined sugar free
- dairy free
- oil free
They freeze well, so feel free to double the batch! I used quinoa flakes in my granola bar recipe, but you can definitely use quick oats as well. I like using quinoa because it is a complete protein and naturally gluten free.
I used cashew butter in my bars because it’s my favorite. Cashew butter is magical! You really can use any nut butter you like though. If you need a nut free version, try using sunflower butter. Enjoy!!
We shot a short video for this recipe. You can view it below. For more videos, you can subscribe to my You Tube Channel.
