Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Bake the quinoa for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add 1 1/2 cups of old fashioned oats to the baking sheet with the quinoa.
Continue baking for 15 more minutes.

In a large bowl, combine the toasted quinoa mixture with 1/2 cup sunflower seeds, 1/2 cup chopped pistachios, 3/4 cup chopped dried mango, 1/2 cup chopped crystallized ginger, 1/4 cup raw organic sugar, 1/2 teaspoon sea salt, and 1/2 teaspoon dried ginger powder.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup maple syrup, 1 tablespoon canola oil, 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla, and 3 beaten egg whites.
Pour the wet ingredients over the quinoa mixture and stir to combine thoroughly.
