Equipment

  • 1 Silicone Snack Bar Mold See link below

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup WHITE quinoa See instructions below on how to toast the quinoa
  • 1 1/2 cups puffed millet
  • 2 T chia seeds
  • 1 1/4 cups vegan chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup natural peanut butter
  • 2 T agave
  • 1/2 t salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted, dry-roasted peanuts
  • 1/2 cup raisins

Instructions

  • Warm a nonstick skillet to medium-high heat.
  • Add the quinoa into the pan. Every minute or so, move the quinoa around with a wooden spoon to lightly toast all sides. This will take a few minutes. When all pieces are lightly brown and toasted, add in the puffed millet and warm it for about 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove skillet from heat.
  • In a microwave-safe bowl, add the chocolate chips and melt them on power 7 (or using your "melt chocolate" option on your microwave) until smooth and creamy. This should only take 2-3 minutes. Stir in the peanut butter, agave, and salt.
  • While the chocolate chips are melting, add the toasted quinoa, puffed millet, chia seeds, peanuts, and raisins into a large mixing bowl.
  • Stir the smooth and creamy chocolate peanut butter mixture into the dry ingredients and mix together well, making sure everything is coated as well as possible.
  • Place the silicone snack bars mold on a metal baking sheet (I use a 1/4-sheet tray) because they are somewhat flimsy. They are made that way so that the bars are easy to remove when they are cool.
  • Spoon the mixture into the compartments of the silicone snack bars mold and press down well with the back of a wooden spoon or something else that is hard and can help to compact the mixture into the mold. You can even use a piece of waxed paper or parchment paper.
  • Place the tray into the freezer for 30-45 minutes. The bars should easily pop out after that time and can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer.
