Quinoa Breakfast Bars

Packed with protein and healthy fats, these Quinoa Breakfast Bars are easy to prep ahead of time and make the perfect grab and go breakfast on a busy morning. These bars come together quickly, especially if you have leftover quinoa in the fridge like I usually do. However, you can easily make a fresh batch of quinoa to use in these bars. Just let it cool slightly before mixing up the batter.
