Ingredients
  

  • 115 g popped quinoa
  • 50 g almonds
  • 50 g pecans
  • 30 g sunflower seeds
  • 15 g sesame seeds
  • 85 g banana - 1 medium sized one
  • 15 g coconut oil - melted
  • 10 g cacao nibs - optional - for decoration
  • Pinch salt

Instructions
 

  • Pop the quinoa following the instructions above
  • While the quinoa is cooling place the nuts into a handheld food processor (or ordinary food processor) and blitz until it turns into a butter. You will have to stop and scrape down the sides several times before the nuts become a butter
  • Add the banana and blitz until smooth
  • Add the sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, coconut oil and salt and blitz again until roughly combined
  • Finally stir through (or quickly blitz) the popped quinoa
  • Tip the mixture into a lined tin...choose one that will give you the sized bars you require. I used on that was approx.25cm x 10cm, and press firmly into the edges smoothing off the top
  • Scatter the cacao nibs, if using, on the top and press gently into the mixture
  • Place in the freezer to set before turning out and cutting into bars
  • Keep in a container in the fridge
