    Quinoa Bars like Healthier, Gluten-Free, Vegan Cookie Bars

    9
    By Alisa Fleming on October 1, 2022 Dairy Free Desserts, Dairy-Free Recipes

    Deanna Harris submitted this recipe for one of our 2013 recipe contests, but she called it “gluten-free chocolate chip brownies.” We’ve renamed the recipe, since these aren’t brownies at all! These more aptly named quinoa bars are like healthier cookie bars or blondies made with quinoa flour and flakes.

    Quinoa Bars like Healthier, Gluten-Free, Vegan Cookie Bars

    Deanna spikes these quinoa bars with chocolate chips to give them a dessert-like vibe. But feel free to toss in your favorite add-ins. Chopped nuts and dried fruit are great. Or you can go another route, and add a teaspoon of cinnamon or other spices.

    If you prefer to bake with eggs, you can substitute 1 large egg for the yogurt, and increase the milk beverage to 1/3 cup if the batter is too stiff.
