Quinoa Brittle

We take traditional brittle to healthier heights using quinoa and oats. This simple snack is a cinch to make and can be eaten on its own, crumbled over fat-free yogourt or ice cream, or as an additive to oatmeal or sweeter salads.

Cooking time may change due to your oven, so be sure to take a peek at it at the 15 minute mark. You will know it’s ready when it smells nutty, is hard to the touch and solid.

Serving size is 20 grams, or about a tenth of the entire recipe.
