Looking for a snack that’s chewy, crunchy, and naturally sweet? These no-bake quinoa puff bars are a quick and wholesome treat you can whip up in minutes. Packed with nutty flavor, a touch of sweetness, and pops of fruity apricot, they make the perfect grab-and-go snack for busy days or a healthier dessert option.
- 1/2 cup peanut, almond, cashew or hemp butter
- pinch sea salt
- 1/2 cup agave syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 1/2 cups puffed quinoa, millet, or crispy rice
- 1/2 cup finely chopped dried apricots
Gently heat agave, nut butter, vanilla, and sea salt in a saucepan. Stir until it combined. Remove mixture from heat and mix with quinoa puffs and apricots in a bowl. Make sure the cereal is completely coated. Place mixture into a greased 8 inch square cake pan and press to form an even layer. (Do this quickly because if you dilly dally, it will be harder to press into the pan as the mixture cools.) Refrigerate for 30 minutes before cutting.
