Preheat oven to 350℉.
Precook the quinoa.
⅓ cup quinoa
Combine the butter, apricots, raisins, vanilla, and water in a pot. Heat over medium until the butter is melted. (This softens and moistens the dried fruits so they're easier to blend.)
½ cup butter, 1 cup apricots, ⅓ cup golden raisins, 1 tsp vanilla extract, ¼ cup water
Put this mixture into your Blendtec. If you don't have one, you should ;)
Blend on low for about 8 seconds or until the dried fruits are about the size of grains of rice.
In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients and stir until fully mixed. (UPDATE: we added an additional 1/4 cup of regular white sugar because these weren't quite sweet enough for our taste.)
1 ¾ cup rolled oats, 2 cup oat flour, 1 tbsp chia seeds, ¼ cup flax seeds, 2 tbsp sunflower seeds, 2 tbsp coconut sugar, 2 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp coconut flakes, ¼ cup canola oil, ¼ cup coconut oil, 1 ½ tsp baking soda, pinch sea salt, ¼ cup sugar
Put tablespoon size scoops into a silicone mini muffin pan. Flatten down the mixture into the muffin pan (important).
Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes.
Let cool for 5 minutes before removing.
Cool completely before storing in a sealed container. (Ours lasted about a month in a sealed plastic container.)
