Warm up a large pot over medium heat, when it's hot pour part of the quinoa into it, making sure the quinoa stays in one layer, close the lid, and shove the pot gently just a bit from one side to the other every few seconds.
Listen carefully to the quiet crackle pops, and when you hear no more crackles (1-2 minutes) pour it straight into a bowl and repeat until you have ¼ cup (would take 2-3 rounds probably).
Notice: the puffed quinoa popped state is only the tiniest bit larger than its unpopped state (nothing like popcorn!). The difference between crispy puffed quinoa and burned quinoa is a matter of seconds, so pay close attention to this part.
Once done, place the puffed quinoa along with all other ingredients in a food processor, and process until it forms a sticky dough.
Spread the dough onto a pan covered with parchment paper, place another sheet of parchment paper on top of the dough, and using the bottom of a cup press the mixture into the pan.
Move to the fridge for at least a couple of hours to settle, then cut and serve.
Store in the fridge, or in the freezer for firmer larabars.
