Method
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spread the soaked and dried quinoa evenly on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden and crispy.
Step 2
While the quinoa is toasting, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil together in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 30-second increments and stirring in between until fully melted and smooth.
Step 3
Once the quinoa is toasted, fold it into the melted chocolate mixture until evenly combined.
Step 4
Pour the mixture into a parchment-lined baking dish, spreading it evenly, sprinkle with sea salt if desired.
Step 5
Chill the bars in the freezer for about 1 hour, or until firm. Once set, cut the chocolate quinoa bars into squares.
Step 6
Store the bars in an airtight container in the freezer.
