Everyone needs a granola bar to pack in their lunch or enjoy as the perfect on the go snack. These nut & seed granola bars are a little bit sweet and salty but packed full of seeds and nuts. Each bite has the perfect crunch. Not to mention that these bars are as simple as throwing everything in a bowl, mixing and then baking.
Packed with protein, fibre and nutrience from all the pumpkins seeds, almonds, shredded coconut, and sunflower seeds.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup roasted unsalted almonds
- 1/2 cup pumpkin seeds
- 1/2 cup sunflower seeds
- 1/4 cup unsweetened coconut shredds
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3/4 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 tbsp honey (sub maple syrup for vegan)
- 1 tbsp melted coconut oil
Tips & Tricks:
- Make It Vegan: Swap the honey for maple syrup.
- Baking: If you are using coconut shreds just make sure to check the pan periodically while baking to ensure nothing burns.
- Cooling: Once the bars come out of the oven press them down with the back of a measuring cup. For added assurance I like to use another pan with something inside it on top to weigh it down.
- Cutting: Fully cool the bars before trying to cut them up. If you cut them up too soon they will fall apart.
- Storage: Wrap your bars in wax paper so that they do not stick together and keep in an airtight container in the fridge.
