These super tasty and healthy Chocolate Quinoa Granola Bars are packed with oats, puffed quinoa, nuts and seeds. Great for snacks or for lunch boxes too!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Chocolate<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I’ve spoken so many times about kids and snacks and my own struggle with keeping a constant supply of healthy snacks on hand to feed them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My children really do eat quite a lot. And if I don’t feed them very filling snacks then they will just keep coming back asking for more! <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

I made these Chocolate Quinoa Granola Bars as I kept seeing puffed quinoa in so many places and I wanted to try it out for myself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Puffed or popped quinoa can be really expensive to buy. But it’s so easy to make it yourself at home by dry-frying it in a large pan on the hob.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"bars<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

To make these granola bars really filling I also added rolled oats along with peanut butter, honey and coconut oil to bind it all together. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For a nutritional boost I added mixed seeds, flaked almonds, chia seeds and ground flaxseed and finally some chocolate chips to keep them kid-friendly!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The toppings of melted chocolate and some freeze dried raspberries are totally optional but they do add a lovely finish to the bars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
