Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Toast quinoa and oats in a pan over medium high heat until fragrant. Allow to cool and combine with cashew, almonds, coconut flakes, dried cherries, and flax seeds. In a small sauce pan, combine the honey, maple syrup, almond butter and coconut oil and heat until hot and melted.
Pour into the bowl of ingredients and fold to coat evenly.


Line a 9 1/2 x 13 1/2 pan with parchment paper. Pour mixture into pan and flatten with the back of a wooden spoon to spread evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the edges are toasted.
Sprinkle the tops with a little sea salt.
Allow to cool entirely. Cut into rectangles.
And if you’d like, dip the bottoms in some melted dark chocolate.
