CAN YOU FIX THIS RECIPE? This morning I tried to create a homemade “granola” bar made with whole food ingredients, unlike the store bought bars that are filled with sugar and processed fat. • But, as you can see, the texture 💯 FAILED ❌. • Question to you: which ingredient is missing to make these babies stick together? • Ingredients (15 servings): – 2 cups rolled oats – 1/2 cup quinoa – 1/4 cup ground flax seed – 1 tsp baking soda – 1/2 tsp sea salt – 1/2 cup slivered almonds – 1/2 cup sunflower seeds – 1/2 cup chopped dried apricots – 1/2 cup shredded coconut (unsweetened) – 1/2 cup honey – 1/2 cup almond flour/meal – 1/4 cup of apple sauce (unsweetened) – 2 tsp vanilla – 1 cup of water • Instructions: 1. Pre-heat oven to 350F. 2. Rinse pre-cooked quinoa and then cook according to package directions. 3. In a mixing bowl, combine oats, flax, baking soda, honey, sea salt, almond flour/meal, almonds, sunflower seeds, apricots, coconut. 4. Once quinoa is cooked, add apple sauce, vanilla, and water to quinoa. 5. Mix wet ingredients with dry ingredients. 6. Grease a 9 x 13 pyrex dish with non-sticking cooking spray. 7. Spread mixture in the pan and flatten. 8. Bake for 20 mins at 350F. 9. Once finished, allow for it to cool for 5 mins, then cut into bars. 10. Enjoy!

• 1/2 cup buckwheat flour stoneground
• 1/2 cup slivered almonds
