COCONUT ALMOND QUINOA BREAKFAST BAKE
When we have leftover quinoa, we enjoy this easy quinoa breakfast bake. We make this recipe with no sweeteners so it can be added after it is baked if needed.
I sometimes add hemp hearts instead of the almonds depending on what I have on hand.

Love this recipe! According to my calculations (and MyFitnessPal) the recipe above divided into 12 bars has 125 cals, 4 g fat, 13 g carbs, 7 g protein, and 2 g sugar per bar. :) Anyone else calculate cals or macros?
