Quinoa Granola Bars

I have made granola bars from this website that I thought were a flop.  They were bland and spongy and bordered on soggy.  I am happy to report that these were much better.

These Quinoa Bars had a nice pops of crunch because of the grain and they were sweet enough because of the ripened banana.  I truly love the hard crunch of Nature's Valley granola bars and these are not them, to be sure.  But they are pretty good on their own.  I used mixed raw nuts that had Brazil, walnut, hazelnut, almond, etc.

I loved her idea of molding them into cookie cutters.  It was easy, fun, and a great way to keep the kids interested in a healthy food option.
