Banana Chocolate Chip Quinoa Flake Bake




Ingredients (1 serving)

3 tbsp banana, mashed
1/4 cup egg white - see note
1/2 cup quinoa flakes
1 tbsp dairy-free chocolate chips or carob chips
1 tbsp pecans, chopped
pinch cinnamon and nutmeg

Instructions
Prepare a 16oz. microwave/oven safe dish by oiling with a dab of coconut oil. Set aside. Drop all ingredients in a small bowl and mix until fully incorporated. Press mixture into prepare dish and even out with fork.
Microwave option: Place in the microwave and cook for 3 minutes. You’ll know when it’s done when it rises slightly, is harder to the touch, and pulls away from the sides of the dish. Don’t bake it too long, or you’ll have a chocolate Frisbee!
Oven option: Place in a preheated oven at 350F and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Allow to rest for 1 minute before tipping over onto a plate and smothering with your favorite toppings.
note: feel free to use 1 egg in place of egg whites. To keep vegan, use 1/4 cup apple sauce.
