Coconut-Quinoa Rhubarb Bars

After making Rhubarb-Fennel Pollen Bars for Nicholas a few weeks ago, I've made a few different versions since. Tonight - to celebrate another successful schoolyear - I made a panful with lady finger crumbles, dried coconut, and quinoa flour. A note about the quinoa flour: it smells distinct and odd, to me, but it tastes great. It definitely doesn't taste the way it smells. Thank goodness.

Ingredients

1-1/2 C crumbled lady finger cookies
1/2 C dried coconut flakes
1 C quinoa flour + 1 T
1 C light brown sugar, lightly packed
12 T butter, melted
1 T organic granulated sugar
3 C rhubarb, trimmed and sliced
juice from 1 lemon

Procedure
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Place the crumbled lady finger cookies, coconut flakes, flour, and light brown sugar in a 9" x 13" baking dish. Melt the butter and pour it into the baking dish. Use a fork to blend it together until clumps form. Press the base lightly into the pan.

In a large mixing bowl, stir together the rhubarb, 1 T granulated sugar, 1 T quinoa flour, and lemon juice. Spoon the rhubarb mixture over your crust.

Bake for 35-40 minutes until the rhubarb is softened and the sauce bubbling around the edges. Cool completely. Slice into squares. I served these with a mini scoop of homemade strawberry ice cream.

You're Invited: Take a (Virtual) Hawaiian Holiday with #FoodNFlix

Fall Break, Oahu, October 2017 For June, I am hosting Food'N'Flix , the movie-watching, food-making group rallied by Heather of All Roads Lead to the Kitchen . This week, my older son was supposed to graduate from high school and we were supposed to leave on a family vacation to the Big Island. But, as enter our eleventh week of being sheltered in place to flatten the curve of the coronavirus, all of our summer plans were canceled, including this long-planned graduation trip to Hawaii. Boo. I understand the need to self-isolate. And we are abiding by the social distancing guidelines put in place by our state. But, boo, nonetheless. Oahu, October 2017 So for this month's Food'N'Flix, I chose to open up the field and let all of the food bloggers take a (virtual) Hawaiian holiday.
