1/2c quinoa flour, spelt, brown rice, amaranth, millet, kamut...your choice, I use brown rice flour or spelt flour

Add both mixture together.

Add 3/4c dark chocolate (chopped), 1/2c dried cranberriers/raisins any other dried fruit of your choice. Mix well, I use my hands.

Place mixture into prepared pan. Press it down and even out the top. Bake on the middle rack for 15 mins. Remove from the oven, let cool and cut into bars (you pick the size). Place the cut bars on a sheet tray lined with a Silpat and bake again for another 15 mins. Transfer to cooling rack. Place in airtight container. I freeze them and stick in micro for 15 seconds when I would like to have one.
