Method
I soaked my quinoa overnight first. Rinse quinoa in a fine sieve until water runs clear,
drain and transfer to a medium pot. Add 2 cups water and bring to a
boil. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until water is
absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes. Set aside off the heat for 5 minutes;
uncover and fluff with a fork.
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line the bottom of an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper; set aside. In a blender, purée hempmilk (or whatever nut milk you choose), dates, seeds, applesauce (or pear), cocoa and salt. Transfer to a large bowl; stir in quinoa and 1/2 cup almond meal. Transfer to prepared pan, scatter remaining 1/4 cup almond meal over the top and bake until firmly set, about 1 hour.
Set aside to let cool for 1 hour, and then carefully run a paring knife around the pan to loosen the edges. Turn out onto a flat surface, remove parchment paper, cut into squares and serve.
To freeze, wrap individual squares tightly and store in the freezer. Thaw in the refrigerator or microwave (do your health a favor and get rid of your microwave and buy a toaster oven! They work great without the negative health effects of a microwave).
