It has been a pleasure collaborating with Minute® Ready to Serve White & Red Quinoa for this sponsored post. All words & opinions are of my own.
I love making simple, yet wholesome meals and snacks for my family. This summer I am trying to build up a plethora of meals and snacks that are easy to throw together to make for lunches. Quinoa has been one of my favorite things to use in snacks and meals because it is packed with protein and is an excellent source of fiber. However, I found that in many instances, when I wanted to include quinoa, I didn’t because of the hassle of making it & having to let it cool.
I love these bars because they can be used both as a lunch, serving them with a piece of fruit & some chopped up veggies. My husband said it is just like eating a peanut butter & honey sandwich, but better. Or they can be served alone as a mid-afternoon snack. Either way, I can’t wait to put these in the kids’ lunches this school year. And trust me, these No-Bake Quinoa & Oat Bars are headed with us to the pool and other activities the rest of the summer.
These bars were a hit at my house not only are these kid-approved but dad-approved as well. Enjoy these No-Bake Quinoa & Oat Bars this summer as part of an easy lunch or snack. And be sure to save these for this fall and winter as well because they will become an oft-requested lunch item. Enjoy! XOXO San

Looks easy and tasty
Hi live in Australia and we don’t have 1 minute ready to serve white and red quinoa so how much quinoa do I add to your recipe pls
What’s the serving size in a container of minute quinoa? I have quinoa in bulk.
if using regular quinoa, not the instant, would that be around a cup of cooked quinoa?
Might be a very silly question but is it uncooked quinoa?
Hi Lisa, the quinoa used in the recipe is cooked and ready to eat. It’s a great way to use leftover quinoa! Just be sure to let it come to room temperature before using it in the bars if you are making it fresh.
In my country we don’t have ready quinoa,how much can I use ?
Hi Lina! Each cup has 4.4 oz of cooked quinoa or just over 1/2 cup. That’s all you need for the recipe. Enjoy!
These are delicious! Super easy to make ! I used quinoa that’s already cooked in a bag
Could you use almond butter instead of peanut butter?
I have not tried this, but I would suggest another nut butter instead.
