The slow cooker basically makes these energy quinoa breakfast bars for you! Gluten and dairy-free and loaded with fiber to keep you full! These quinoa bars are loaded with a great combination of healthy, wholesome carbs from the quinoa and dried fruit, with healthy fat from the almond butter. This combination will slow down the digestion of the carbs and keep you full.

Ingredients

2 tbsp. Chia seeds
1/3 cup Dried apples roughly chopped
1/3 cup Roasted Almonds roughly chopped
1/2 cup Raisins
1/3 cup Quinoa uncooked
2 Large eggs
1/2 tsp. Cinnamon
salt
1 cup Unsweetened vanilla almond milk
2 tbsp. Pure maple syrup
2 tbsp. Almond butter

Method

01

Spray a 5 Quart Slow Cooker with cooking spray and cut a piece of parchment to just fit in the bottom of it. I just traced my slow cooker on a large piece of parchment, cut it out and stuck it in. Spray the parchment with cooking spray, and press it down to adhere it to the slow cooker.
02

In a large, microwave safe bowl, combine the almond butter and maple syrup and melt until the almond butter is creamy, about 30 seconds.
03

Whisk together the almond butter and maple syrup. Then, whisk in the almond milk, cinnamon and salt. Whisk until the milk is well incorporated with the almond butter.
04

Whisk in the eggs until well combined, then stir in all remaining ingredients thoroughly.
05

Pour the mixture into the prepared slow cooker and cook on LOW heat until the top of the bars just appears set about 3 1/2-4 hours. Turn the slow cooker off and let the bars cool inside completely, with the lid off.
06

Run a knife around the outside of the bars and remove the bowl from the slow cooker. Once cool, cut into bars, drizzle with additional almond butter, and devour!
