Today’s Sweet Delight: Blueberry Lemon Quinoa Bars

Hey there, foodies! Today, I’m excited to share with you a recipe that’s perfect for those looking for a healthier dessert option that doesn’t skimp on flavor. These Blueberry Lemon Quinoa Bars are a delightful treat that combines the tartness of fresh blueberries with the zesty kick of lemon, all nestled in a chewy quinoa-based crust. Whether you’re hosting a summer brunch or simply craving a sweet bite after dinner, these bars are sure to satisfy your sweet tooth guilt-free.

Ingredients:

• 200g cooked quinoa
• 150g fresh blueberries
• 1 lemon, zest and juice
• 75g almond flour
• 50g honey
• 50ml melted coconut oil
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Kitchen Tools:

• mixing bowl
• baking dish
• whisk
• spatula

To start, preheat your oven to 180°C and grease a baking dish. In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, almond flour, honey, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and the zest of the lemon. Mix everything together until well combined and press the mixture into the bottom of the greased baking dish to form a crust.

In a separate bowl, toss the fresh blueberries with the lemon juice and scatter them evenly over the quinoa crust. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the blueberries are bubbly.

Once done, remove the dish from the oven and let it cool completely before cutting into bars. These Blueberry Lemon Quinoa Bars are best enjoyed chilled, so feel free to pop them in the fridge for a bit before serving.
