I am usually very firm with my children about eating a healthy breakfast, so when I told my children that they could have these bars for breakfast with a glass of milk, I could tell that they thought I had made a mistake. I gave them each a square and they all loved them. I was satisfied, knowing that they had a well-rounded breakfast.
1 generous cup chunky peanut butter
1/2 cup Gefen Honey
3 tablespoons sunflower seeds
1 and 1/2 tablespoons flax seeds
3 cups puffed quinoa
dash of kosher salt
1/2 cup dried cherries or Gefen Mini Chocolate Chips
In a medium pot, combine peanut butter and honey over a low flame and mix until smooth.
Remove from heat and add the sunflower and flax seeds. Mix to combine.
Add the puffed quinoa, sprinkle lightly with kosher salt and mix until combined.
Add dried cherries mix once more. (if using chocolate chips, press the quinoa mixture into the pan first and sprinkle chocolate chips over it, then press them into the mixture).
Press into an eight-inch square pan, using the back of a spoon or bottom of a glass to create an even top. Let cool completely. Freezes well.

What is puffed quinoa? Is it something you buy? Or make with regular quinoa?
Puffed quinoa is quinoa that’s been heated until it pops, kind of like mini popcorn, and it adds a nice crunch to things like granola or yogurt. You can buy it ready-made, but itās also easy to make at homeājust dry some rinsed quinoa really well, then toast it in a hot, dry pan until it pops. It only takes a few minutes and gives a light, nutty flavor.
