Directions

1. Cook your quinoa according to package directions, usually 1:1 water:quinoa and takes about 20 minutes to simmer.
2. Preheat the oven to 350F. Prepare an 8x10 baking dish by lining it with parchment paper (this is how I avoid using excess/unnecessary oils and cooking sprays.
3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the first 7 ingredients for the crust. Cut the butter into thin slices and toss it around into the bowl. Using a pastry cutter or a large fork or heavy whisk, cut in the butter {mix it in by chopping at it with your utensil} until the flour mixture is crumbly. Press the crust mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish using a spatula or your hands. Bake the crust at 350F for 10 minutes. Carefully remove from oven.
