Hello and welcome to my channel Vegan Spatula.
Let the food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.
Today we are making dark chocolate quinoa bars.
As we all have a sweet tooth and also to fulfill kids' demand of chocolate without any guilt,
here comes this recipe, the dark chocolate quinoa bars.
This recipe fits all vegan criterias.
It is sugar free, it is gluten free, it is dairy free.
On top of that, this recipe comes ready in just 15 minutes
and don't require any baking.
Let's start the recipe.
This is 1 cup of gluten free quinoa.
Saucepan on stove.
Bring the water to a boiling point.
When you start noticing bubbles in the water, add the quinoa.
This needs to be boiled for like 10 minutes.
On medium-low flame, while it is boiling, let's prepare the crust with the nuts.
For crust, we require 20-25 almonds.
These are roasted almonds.
15-20 cashews.
1 tbsp magaj seeds, also known as grey metal seeds.
1 tbsp chironji.
These are 2-3 roasted walnuts.
Now we will add 10 pitted dates.
Let's blend them all.
To bind them together, we will add 1 tbsp ghee, that is clarified butter.
And this is done.
We have lined a dish with butter paper.
Now we will put the nuts into it.
With the help of fingers, spread the crust evenly.
Now we will put it into the freezer to set for like 5 minutes.
I think our quinoa is done.
Let's stain it.
Your cooked quinoa would look like this after staining the water.
We will wait for a few minutes so that it will cool down.
And we will make the second layer with this.
I am adding boiled quinoa to the jar.
2 tbsp of cocoa powder.
I am using 6 tbsp of maple syrup here.
You can use agave syrup or honey as per your choice.
Maple syrup and agave syrup are counted to be the raw form of sugar.
And the healthier sugar that we can have as vegan or as a healthier choice.
Let's combine them.
This is done.
This is the crust which we have set in the freezer.
And it is nicely done.
Now put the quinoa mixture on the top.
Quinoa is very nutritious.
High in fibre.
Contains all 9 essential amino acids.
Omega 3 fatty acids.
And considered to be the most protein rich food that we can eat.
Let's spread it evenly on the top.
So the two layers are ready.
Nutty crust is ready.
Quinoa layer is ready.
Now we will put it in the freezer.
Now for the top layer.
I have this 50 gms of dark chocolate.
It has no sugar in it.
I am putting it into microwave for 2 minutes.
So that it will melt down.
To add into the raw dark chocolate.
I am putting dates and coconut milk.
Chocolate is also melted.
And the date and coconut milk paste is also ready.
I am adding little more coconut milk.
For better consistency.
I am adding 1 tbsp of maple syrup.
Now add the last final layer on the top of quinoa layer.
Dish into the freezer for next 1 hour or 2 hours.
So that the top layer fits well.
Dark chocolate quinoa bars are ready.
They look like this.
Let's cut them into pieces.
Let's taste our dark chocolate quinoa bars.
They taste amazing.
I would recommend this recipe to everyone.

The recipe is packed with proteins, high in fibre and healthy fats.
This can be served as on the go breakfast or snack.
