Hi-Protein Oat Goji Berry Granola Bars






2 Cups Ground Oat Flour
1 Cup Quinoa Puffs
1/4 Cup Blanched Almond Flour
2 Tbsp Cinnamon
1/2 Tbsp Pumpkin Pie Spice
1/8 tsp Nutmeg
1 Pinch Sea Salt
2 Tbsp Gogi Berries
1 Tbsp Chia Seed
1/2-3/4 Cup Almond Butter
3/4 Cup Honey

Toppings:
*White chocolate chips
*Kind dry granola (dark chocolate cranberry was used here)
Raisins
Nuts
Seeds
*Used for this recipe


Mix the Dry ingredients in a bowl and set aside.  Add the Almond Butter and Honey in a pot and stir on medium heat until well blended.  Add to the dry ingredients and mix in well.  In a 9x12 glass baking dish, spray with non-stick spray and pour batter into the dish.  Press down with a piece of wax paper sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.  Once pressed, add chocolate chips, seeds, raisins or dry granola on top and spread in an even fashion.  Press down with wax paper to incorporate the toppings in the mix.  Cool or refrigerate for 30 minutes.  Cut into bar sizes and serve. eat. smile!

This is a very sweet recipe so you could sans the toppings altogether if you like.  I might even go so far as to say use only 1/2 honey and 1/4 cup of molasses, but I have not tried it yet.
