Healthy Rice Quinoa Breakfast Bake
A doctored-up breakfast bar based on the "quinoa bake" recipe found in "The Daniel Plan" book. This version is nuttier, bulkier, manlier. You won't get so many "this is goat chow!" cockeyed looks from this. Its quite tasty without telling people words like "organic" or "healthy". I suggest serving a slice of it hot from the microwave, and hosed down with some good honey for a lift. Oh yeah.

DIRECTIONS
- Preheat oven to 350 f.
- Use http://www.food.com/recipe/brown-jasmine-rice-with-quinoa-520574 for cooking brown rice and quiona together. If you do this, you need 3 cups instead of the individual amounts of brown jasmine rice and quinoa.
- Use coconut oil to grease a 9" square baking pan.
- Mix all ingredients in a large bowl, or with a mixer. Mix enough to combine all ingredients. No extended mixing is needed. Mixture will be slightly moist and have a coarse texture.
- Deposit mixture into greased 9" square baking pan. Use rubber spatula to level the mixture within the baking pan.
- Bake for 35 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool before eating or storing in refrigerator.
- Suggested serving is to cut into eight bars. Serve either hot or cold. May be microwaved for one minute. Most excellent when glazed with honey at serving time.
