The protein-rich bars have an edge over many available bars on the market. These :

• use sprouted quinoa flour
• use sprouted amaranth flour
• use nut powders
• use roasted chickpea flour
• are gluten free
• are vegan
• are white sugar free
• do not use ghee/butter or bad fats
• are loaded with proteins, amino acids, good fat, and fiber
• are instant too (I have followed the instant jaggery syrup hack )

Ingredients
1 cup measures- 240 ml
I have used homemade sprouted flours, if you do not have these handy, then you can replace them with store-bought ones. But then you need to dry roast both quinoa flour and amaranth flour.

vegan gluten free energy bars

• Add 3/4 cup of jaggery powder to a 2 or 3-liter pressure cooker
• Add 2 tablespoon of water to the jaggery
• Close the lid and pressure cook for 3 whistles for softer toffees/energy bars and 4 whistles for slightly tighter bars. I gave 4 whistles.
• In a separate bowl, add 1/4 cup of sprouted quinoa flour, 1/4 cup sprouted amaranth flour, 1/4 cup roasted almond powder, 1/4 cup sattu atta (roasted chickpea flour) 1/4 cup pistachio+sesame seed powder
• Release pressure manually and be careful with handling the cooker now.
• Add the jaggery syrup to the dry ingredients. You can even add 1 tbsp of ghee to the mix. I did not.
• Mix everything quickly.
• Spread on a greased tray or aluminum foil.
• Press with hands to flatten the dough.
• You may use a heavy utensil to flatten.
• Keep it covered for 30 minutes.
• Cut into pieces
• Spread a layer of sprouted amaranth on top. This is optional. You may even use toasted nuts.
• Keep covered for 5-10 minutes.
