Hi Friends!

I have another hubby-approved breakfast to share with you guys! They’re a staple in my Sunday Food Prep every week.

Quinoa Breakfast Bars

Packed with protein and healthy fats, this recipe for Quinoa Breakfast Bars is easy to prep ahead of time and makes the perfect grab and go breakfast on a busy morning.

These bars come together quickly, especially if you have leftover quinoa in the fridge like I usually do. However, you can easily make a fresh batch of quinoa for use in these bars. Just let it cool slightly before mixing up the batter.

 

Here’s the recipe:

I cut these into bars and put each one in a snack size Ziploc bag before putting them in the fridge. That way they were ready to go and hubby could just grab a bag on the way out the door to work. I’d recommend letting them cool completely before cutting.

Packed with protein and healthy fats, this recipe for Quinoa Breakfast Bars is easy to prep ahead of time and makes the perfect grab and go breakfast on a busy morning.

These quinoa breakfast bars are chewy and delicious- perfect for breakfast or an afternoon snack. They can easily be made gluten-free and are easy to customize with your favorite mix-ins! For variety, make them in an edge pan like this one! (aff link) I often use mine and people always ask where I got it!

These Quinoa Breakfast Bars are the perfect on the go breakfast. Packed with protein and fiber, they'll keep you full all morning!

You can also halve this recipe and make them in an 8×8 pan!

    I have been meaning to make this for a while and finally had a chance this week. I subed the flour with Oat Flour and then used a combo of pumpkin seeds and almonds. The only issue I had was they are very dry and fall apart. The picture doesn’t appear to do that. Did I do something wrong?

      April 12, 2013 at 11:21 PM

      hmmm i’m not sure! i’ve noticed that when i make them with chickpea flour they are much more crumbly than when i make them with whole wheat flour. i think it’s because they’re gluten free….so you might have had the same issue with the oat flour. i’ve also started using a whole egg instead of just the white.

    I have been dreaming about these bars for a while and finally made them (so easy!) and we love them! Two questions, do you put the yolk in (with the rest of the ingredients) or omit it entirely. Also, do you have any idea about the protein content per bar? Thanks!

    Awesome recipe! I followed it exactly. DH just couldn’t wait for them to cool so we inverted them out of the pyrex dish and cut them up while they were warm. Lots of soft yummy crumbs – next time will let them cool completely to make less of a mess.

    Wow, these are sooo good! I batch cooked some things yesterday so I froze all but 2 for this morning. Hubby commented, I can’t believe these are so good for being healthy. I ate mine after my workout and was in LOVE! They are def going to be part of my weekly routine and are coming out of the freezer now. :). Thanks Lindsay.

    Hi Lindsay, My teen boys and I always seem to be racing out the door in the morning so I definitely needed a ‘grab-and-go’ breakfast. I have been looking for a recipe for a healthy AND tasty breakfast bar… this is it!! I can’t thank you enough for sharing. The only thing I did differently was cook the quinoa in water and apple juice for a little added sweetness.

    Thanks so much for this recipe! I made them with a flax egg to make it vegan, and the substituted sunflower seeds and sunflower seed butter for the nuts and peanut butter to make it nut-free. They tasted great! I did end up with strange looking dark green splotches, which I think is from the sunflower seed butter reacting with the baking soda, so I’ll try mixing it more thoroughly next time.

    I was tripling the recipe and totally didn’t triple the honey. I did wind up adding some chocolate chips in, so they do help sweeten it up. They are still good, and we have already ate almost half of what I kept out, as I did freeze a bunch. So next time I make them, I am sure they will be 3x as good! lol

My son reluctantly took the small bit from me and took a bite, then shoveled the rest of the piece into his mouth! He along with everyone in the house loved them! I packaged them up for the week and he has been begging for more. I am now making another batch after dinner so he can have a whole bar. Thanks for sharing your recipes!

    After doing the calorie math, I don’t think this would be a good option for my family, if I were to keep it at 6 bars a batch. It comes out to about 350 calories, which is a whole lot for one person, even if that’s all they were having for breakfast. If it’s cut into 12 bars, it would be closer to 175 which is a little better but you’re not getting much to satisfy. All the ingredients are healthier than the junk companies put into breakfast bars, but again, not sure the calories make it great. I’ll try to make it sparingly though!

    I made these and we just had them for dessert. I think they will be good for a quick breakfast or even mid-afternoon snack. It’s a great way to get your whole grains. I used raisins instead of craisins & went with the applesauce with no added sugar. I also let the batter set after adding the chias so they would gel. The ingredients aren’t listed in a logical order. i didn’t use the chocolate chips. Only because if I open the bag for 1/3 c the others seem to disappear. I think next time I will modify and cut back on the honey and use a little stevia. Apple slices would be good too.

    I think I may have misunderstood the definition of “cooked quinoa”. I bought the dry ready to eat kind rather than boiling it in water to cook it. When I made these today and they came out dry (kind of like over cooked brownies) is that how they usually are? Or did I just mess up?

      by cooked quinoa i just meant you cook the quinoa first before you use it in the recipe, not put it in dry!

    I just made these and although the batter was finger licking good, the bars after they came out of the oven were very bland. I’m so disappointed that I just wasted all the ingredients. Just curious, but how sweet are the bars supposed to be? The batter was really sweet but after baking them, they were extremely bland.

    • Lindsay says

      December 1, 2016 at 9:03 AM

      So sorry you were disappointed. They’re not designed to be overly sweet…I rely on the cranberries and chocolate chips to add some sweetness.

    Was looking for a recipe to use up some over ripe bananas and quinoa languishing in my pantry. Followed the recipe except forgot to add the 1/2 cups of nuts (oops). These are very hearty and not too sweet. My teenager likes them…very convenient, self-serve breakfast. I cut mine in smaller bars to have along with some yogurt in the morning. Pretty likely that I’ll make again, maybe with applesauce next time.
