YIELD

9 BARS

• 1 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1/2 cup cooked quinoa, cooled
• 1/4 cup whole flax meal
• 3 tablespoons chia seeds
• 1/2 cup dried fruit, nuts, etc of choice.
• 1 large egg white
• 1/2 cup organic honey
• 1/2 cup peanut (or almond) butter (natural)
• 1/4 teaspoon fine ground sea salt
• 2 tablespoon CINNAMON BUN SEASONING 

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 325°F. Grease an 8" x 8" pan, or line it with parchment.
2. Toss together the oats, quinoa, flaxseed meal, chia seeds, dried fruit, and egg white in a medium-mixing bowl until thoroughly combined.
3. Warm the honey, nut butter, salt, and cinnamon bun seasoning in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly until well blended. Don't let it boil, just let it get warm and fluid enough to blend easily with the dry ingredients, 2 to 3 minutes.
4. Pour the honey mixture over the dry ingredients and mix until everything is coated.
5. Press the mixture into the prepared pan.
6. Bake the bars for 23 to 25 minutes, or until the oats on the edges start to turn golden brown. Remove them from the oven and let them cool completely before serving.
7. To serve, cut into squares and sprinkle with more CINNAMON BUN SEASONING roughly another teaspoon.
8. Yield: 9 bars.
