Cashew Quinoa Granola Bars

 

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.

Chocolate Coconut Quinoa Cookies

I have a new no-bake cookie for you today. These Chocolate Coconut Quinoa Cookies are delicious. They are vegan and naturally gluten-free.  You only need a few simple ingredients and there is no food processor needed!

I think these cookies are healthy enough for breakfast too.  The quinoa flakes and nut butter add a nice amount of fat and protein, keeping you full for a while.  If you don’t want to use quinoa flakes, you can use quick oats instead.

This recipe is also easy to make nut free by using sunflower butter.  I imagine it should work out just fine.  These healthy cookies literally took 5 minutes to whip together too!
