    • The jury is out about oatmeal and gluten, although it seems that most people who are gluten-intolerant can handle oats. But if oats cause a problem these bars are for you. Quinoa flakes are gluten-free in addition to containing a fair amount of protein. Look for quinoa flakes in health food stores and some specialty shops.

    Ingredients

    Serves:

    Directions

    Preheat oven to 350. Line a 9 x 9-inch baking pan with parchment, leaving a 1-inch overhang on 2 sides.

    Spread quinoa on a baking sheet and bake 15 minutes, tossing once or twice, until lightly browned and fragrant. Transfer to a large bowl.

    Add rice cereal, banana chips, apricots, raisins, and salt; toss to combine. Add egg whites, agave nectar, sunflower seed butter, and vanilla and stir to combine.

    Transfer to pan and using a dampened spatula spread and flatten to make even. Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until set and crisp around edges. Cool 5 minutes in pan, then using overhang, lift out of pan and transfer to wire rack to cool. Cut into 16 bars.

    just make em and eat em. All good ingredients! Of course they are "nutritional". If you are worried about calories, just go for a run later.

    Ditto, it would be helpful to have nutritional information when posting "healthy snacks"

    I find it sad that this is classified as vegan when egg is used in this. My child has allegries to dairy and eggs and it has been inpossible to find foods for her to not feel left out, thought i had found one, let the search continue

    I agree. I won't consider making a new recipe anymore if I don't know the nutrition information.
