Kitchen Sink Quinoa Brittle {gf,v}

The granola game just changed, big time! This Quinoa Brittle is a fun spin on granola, and it includes a ton of ingredients you can find sitting around the kitchen. It is full of wholesome ingredients, such as tricolor quinoa, gluten free oats, the superfood: maca powder, unsweetened coconut flakes, and more. Not only that, this brittle consists of many nuts and seeds that provide a significant amount of fiber, antioxidants, and plant based protein. There is a light, natural sweetness to this recipe due to the pure maple syrup and pitted dates. Not to mention, this brittle is super simple to make; you pretty much blend everything together in a food processor. To describe the flavor, it is a nutty, maple cinnamon combination, which pairs perfectly with yogurts, smoothies, oats, and as a snack on its own! This brittle is also gluten free and vegan friendly.
