Hi-Protein Quinoa Carob Bars

Hi-Protein Quinoa Carob Bars or Bites:

These are salt-free, gluten free and egg free and virtually sugar free sans the white chocolate. It does contain dairy.  This version is only mildly sweet, so if you like it sweeter, then add the raisins and chocolate chips to the batter, then stir and top again with chocolate chips and raisins or whatever you like.

3/4 Cup Blanched Almond Flour
1 Cup Nonfat Organic Milk
1 Cup Pitted Dates
2 Cups Cooked Quinoa
1/4 Cup Quinoa Puffs
1/8 Cup Chia Seeds
1/4 Cup Unsweetened Applesauce
1/8 Cup Carob Powder
2 Tbsp Flax Meal

Blend first three ingredients in food processor or Ninja.  Add remaining ingredients, except the Quinoa puffs and cooked Quinoa.  Stir in remaining ingredients: Quinoa puffs and cooked quinoa.  Top with raisins, white chocolate chips and seeds.  Spray a pie plate or 9x9 baking pan with non-stick cooking spray.  Pour batter into dish and spread evenly.  Top with remaining toppings. Bake for 35 minutes @ 350.  Serve. Eat. Smile!
