Line a loaf pan with parchment paper. Set aside.

Heat a skillet on medium-high heat. You want to get it hot!

Pour the quinoa into the skillet and allow it to toast, stirring constantly, for about 2-4 minutes. You'll hear the quinoa start to pop (like popcorn), and it will begin to smell nutty. Keep stirring the quinoa until it starts to just slightly brown. Remove from heat before it begins to burn.

Melt the chocolate chips and the coconut oil together in a large bowl. I like to do this in the microwave–just melt it at 15s increments, stopping to stir each time.

Once the chocolate is completely melted, stir in the quinoa until it's evenly coated.

Pour the chocolate-quinoa mixture into the loaf pan and spread it into an even layer.

Freeze for 1 hour. Slice into bars and place in a Ziploc bag for long term storage.
