Rustic Italian loaf from Canadian living breads and pizzas

Everyday Whole Grains: 175 New Recipes from Amaranth to Wild Rice, Includes Every Ancient Grain

By Ann Taylor Pittman, Hugh Acheson

Brown sugar and honey are used to make a caramel, then popped grain and sesame seeds are added. I used popped quinoa since that's what I had. A very easy homemade candy, you just have to watch that the caramel doesn't get too dark. It is very difficult to spread out (and it's hot, of course) and I wasn't able to cut it into bars. Broken into irregular pieces it's good to eat as is or to add to the top of other desserts.

The taste was good but the texture just didn't work for me. I also had trouble getting the mixture to stick to the zucchini. Pretty fiddly so I probably won't make again.

Loved these bars. Sweet enough without being too sweet. I subbed a combination of spelt, rice flour, all purpose and sorghum flour for the whole wheat pastry flour, and lime juice for lemon juice. Baked at 350 convection for 35 minutes and they were done perfectly. This recipe is available on the cooking light website http://www.cookinglight.com/recipes/blueberry-streusel-bars
