Easy Quinoa Health Bar

Ingredients for Quinoa Health Bars:

Quinoa - 1/2 cup (uncooked)

Pecans - 3/4 cup (chopped)

Chia seeds - 2 tbsp.

Brown sugar - 2 tbsp.

Salt - a pinch

Coconut oil - 2 tbsp.

Maple syrup - 1/2 cup

Rolled Oats - 1/4 cup

Method of preparing the Quinoa Health Bars:

Heat your oven to 325°F and line a baking dish with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mix the quinoa, chopped pecans, oatmeal, chia seeds, sugar, and salt.
Pour the maple syrup and coconut oil into a small pot and warm the mixture up over a low-medium flame for 2-3 minutes. Mix every once in a while until the maple and coconut oil completely come together.
Remove the pot from the flame and pour its contents over the dry mixture and mix well.
Carefully pour the mixture into the lined pan and level It out so that it's even.
Place into the oven and bake for 15 minutes, then turn the pan around 180 degrees so that it's lying sideways, to make sure the whole pan browns evenly, and bake for another 5-10 minutes. Keep an eye on the oven to make sure your bars don’t burn.
The snack is ready when it turns an even golden color, but don’t worry if the edges are darker than the rest.
Let the snack cool well before breaking into pieces using a knife or your hands.
