The prep for these bars takes all of 10 minutes before you pop them in the oven and have breakfast on hand for the whole week!  The base to our bars is simply uncooked quinoa, coconut oil, oats and peanut butter!  So take that base and run with it!  We added mango (of course), pecans, unsweetened cocoa powder, mashed banana, unsweetened coconut, vanilla extract and a touch of raw honey for added natural sweetener.

 

We keep these bars in the fridge after baking and store for the whole week so we have a quick go-to breakfast on hand!  Despite our hubs not liking quinoa (crazy, right?), these happen to be hubby approved!!

 

We LOVE knowing exactly what we are putting into our bodies!  SO many breakfast bars are packed with added sugar and preservatives!  No worries here!

 

Hope you enjoy :)
