Quinoa “Rice” Crispy Squares
You may find yourself eating the whole tray to yourself (like me) so make sure you ask friends over to help! I know I’m also obsessed with quinoa but its functions are never ending, its just so diverse!!! These are so simple to make, and don’t worry quinoa pops are available in most health food stores, “biofar” seems to be the main brand I have seen around.
Serves 12 large squares
