sunflower oil, for greasing

3/4 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour

1 1/8 teaspoons gluten-free baking powder

1/8 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup quinoa flakes

3 1/2 cups puffed rice

1/2 cup slivered almonds

1 1/2 cups blueberries

1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon dairy-free soy spread

1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon honey

1 egg, beaten

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease an 11 x 7-inch rectangular baking pan and line the bottom with nonstick parchment paper.

Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt into a mixing bowl, add the quinoa, puffed rice, almonds, and blueberries, and mix together. Place the soy spread and honey in a saucepan and heat gently until just melted, then stir evenly into the dry ingredients with the egg.

Spread the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing with a spatula. Bake in the oven for 25–30 minutes, until golden brown and firm.

Let cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then cut into 12 bars. Transfer to a wire rack to continue cooling.
