Quinoa bread bars

I stumbled upon this recipe after experimenting a bit with various grain free baked items for breakfast. This one is by far the most delicious. It's essentially like baked quinoa, but more of a bread consistency.  It's incredibly versatile and very tasty. It will definitely become a staple in our house from now on.

Ingredients
2 cups cooked quinoa (cook and cool ahead of time)
1/3 cup unsweetened almond milk (or preferred milk)
4 whole eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup melted coconut oil
1/2 cup arrowroot flour
1/2 cup tigernut flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 and 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt (optional, recommended if you prefer a savory flavor)

Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and spray with oil a 9x13 glass pan
2. In a food processor or blender, combine the quinoa, eggs, almond milk (or preferred milk) and vanilla extract then blend for ten seconds to combine.
3. Add the melted coconut oil then blend until completely smooth.
4. Sift together the dry ingredients in a large bowl
5. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ones and fold together until well-combined.
6. Pour batter into prepared pan.
7. Bake for 30 minutes.
