Angela Lowry
List of Ingredients
1 cup thin poha, uncooked briefly whirled in blender
1 cup quinoa flakes
1 - 1/2 cups GFCF flour
1 cup (packed) currants, raisins, chopped prunes, or other dried fruit
1 cup pear juice, or variations below
1/4 cup white or brown sugar (can be omitted, see variations below)
1/2 tsp. cinnamon, more or less to taste
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup sesame seeds or small nut piecesRecipe
Preheat oven to 375 (F). Oil a 9 inch by 13 inch pan, or two 8 inch by 8 inch pans.
Combine all ingredients in bowl and mix well. It should be moist enough to form a ball, without extra liquid.
Put mixture in prepared pan(s) and spread evenly. Bake for
30 minutes. Remove from oven and cut into squares while still hot. Wait until the bars cool before trying to remove them from the pan. I roll bars in sweet rice flour to prevent sticking.
Variations:
Replace apple juice with 1) orange juice 2) a mixture of 1/4 cup molasses and 3/4 cup water 3) 1/4 cup molasses, 2 tbls dark rum or flavoring, enough water to make one cup. If you
want to up the molasses a bit, you can omit the sugar in the recipe.
**if the fruit is hard, soak it with a bit of water before adding to the mixture. The fruit doesn't soften much in baking. You can use a bit of rum or other flavoring in the soaking water.
