Quinoa Crispies

Quinoa Crispies

you can swap out the quinoa crisps with crispy brown rice instead - I like the Erewhon Crispy Brown Rice Cereal - but if you can get your hands on some of these quinoa crispies (you can buy them on-line here) I highly recommend you give these ridiciously simple (throw everything in a bowl, mix, spread, chill, cut, eat!) recipe a go. I made them with almond butter last week and they were delicious and then made them with sesame butter (tahini) this week and still delicious so I would guess they would be wonderful with any nut/seed butter you desire too.

• 2 cups quinoa crispies

• 1/2 cup brown rice syrup

• 2 TB runny honey

• 1/2 cup smooth almond butter or tahini

• pinch of sea salt

In a small bowl, whisk the rice syrup, honey, nut butter, sea salt until combine. They will blend more easily if they are all at room temperature. If you are having trouble then just put them all in the food processor and give em a whiz.

In a medium bowl, add the quinoa crispies then pour the nut butter mixture in. Mix together with a spatula until combine.

Pour into a 8x8 baking dish or other desired shaped dish. Using a spatula or back of a spoon, flatten mixture until the top is even and smooth. Place in the refrigerator for a few hours until set.

When set, run a sharp knife along the top to make the size bars you want then cut em and eat em! Store in an airtight container in the fridge in-between wax paper cause they will most likly stick together.
