WEEK 2 RECIPES: Quinoa Cacao Bars

Had to share this recipe posted by Scoop Wholefoods recently.

Apart from the fact that you can purchase all of the ingredients from Scoop, it’s so easy to put together, packed full of goodness and satisfies that sugar craving around tea time!!

Wet Ingredients:

• 6 tbs coconut oil (it seems excessive but don’t worry)
• 2 tbs coconut butter
• 4 tbs raw cacao powder, or unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 tbs maple syrup
• Pinch of salt

Dry Ingredients:

• 1 x cup puffed quinoa cereal
• 1/4 cup cranberries
• 1/4 cup Pistachios
• 1/4 cup toasted sesame seeds or pumpkin seeds

Directions:

Melt all the wet ingredients together in a large saucepan. Add dry ingredients and mix thoroughly. Pour into a lined loaf pan, press down firmly and place in the refrigerator to set. Once cooled and set, slice into bars. Enjoy!
