What is quinoa flakes? What’s the difference between regular quinoa and flakes?
Quinoa flakes are flattened. Like rolled oats as compared with the whole oat grain.
Love the recipes. Easy to understand.
Do you think substituting with oat flour instead of almond flour would work in this recipe?
I am new to PBE and tried this recipe to satisfy the sweet cravings. It was so good that even my kids ate them. Will be making these often.
LOVE this recipe! Easy, flexible + forgiving.
No quinoa flakes or not enough? Can swap some or all with oats.
Variation: almond butter and apple sauce (natural unsweetened) instead of peanut butter and banana.
Where do you find quinoa flakes?
Don’t mean to be dense. Are quinoa flakes a cereal?
I found some new seasons market
