Looking for a  vegan treat that is delicious, incredibly easy to make, hearty and satisfying with added benefit of quinoa?  

Then this recipe is for you!

I am always looking for recipes that can satisfy my sweet tooth but still offer nutritional benefits. These Berry Quinoa Oatmeal Bars from hummusapien.com contain the goodness of oats and quinoa, are just slightly sweet and can even be made gluten free. They can be considered, “energy bars” or “breakfast bars” or “snack bars”, or even “desert bars!” 

I modified the recipe slightly by using mixed berry jam, instead of strawberry. Make sure to read the label of the jam you buy so that you get one that is 100% fruit. There’s no need for added sugar – fruit is sweet enough! I also added an extra 1/4 cup of oats to the topping to make it extra crumbly which worked out nicely.

And did I mention easy?  Even the most novice baker could pull these off and it would be a fantastic recipe for kids to help with.  Try it out!
