SUPER SEEDY GRANOLA BARS
Steps:
- Toast your oats and almonds in a 350-degree F (176 C) oven for 13-15 minutes or until slightly golden brown.
- Process dates in a food processor until small bits remain (about 1 minute). It should form a "dough" like consistency (mine rolled into a ball).
- Place oats, almonds and dates in a large mixing bowl. Add seeds and set aside.
- Warm agave and peanut or almond butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir and pour over oat mixture and then mix, breaking up the dates to disperse throughout. Use a spoon or your hands to thoroughly mix.
- Transfer to an 8×8 dish or other small pan lined with plastic wrap or parchment paper so they lift out easily. (Or use 2/3 of a 9×13 // as original recipe is written // adjust if altering batch size)
- Cover with parchment or plastic wrap and press down with something flat, such as a book, to get them really packed tight. This will help them from being crumbly. Chill in the fridge or freezer for 15-20 minutes to harden.
- Remove bars from dish and chop into 10 even bars (as original recipe is written // adjust if altering batch size). Store in an airtight container for up to a few days. I kept mine in the freezer to keep them extra fresh, but it isn't necessary.

HIGH-FIBER, HIGH-PROTEIN BREAKFAST BARS
I came up with this recipe when my doctor told me I needed to eat more fiber, and I was sick of eating store-bought protein bars for breakfast in the car between the gym and work. Ingredients such as wheat germ, flaxseed, protein powder, peanut butter, and oats make this a healthy way to start the day!

HIGH FIBRE GRANOLA BARS
Great trail snack. Healthy alternative to chocolate bars. I always have a few of these in my pockets when at the camp or out hunting or fishing or hiking. This is just the basic recipe. You could add dried fruit or berries or raisins to this.

Steps:
- Grease a 13x9 inch baking dish and a large spoon or spatula.
- In a large mixing bowl combine the first 8 ingredients.
- In a medium saucepan over medium low heat melt the butter.
- Stir in the corn syrup or honey and add the vanilla and brown sugar.
- Stir until the mixture starts just to bubble slightly. Do not boil the mixture it will burn easily.
- Remove from the heat and stir in the peanutbutter until combined and smooth.
- Pour the syrup-peanut butter mixture into the dry ingredients and mix together. You can add the chocolate chips now but they will melt into the mixture. I put them on the top at the end and just push them into the bars.
- Once combined transfer to the greased baking dish and using the greased spoon or spatula (you can use your hands if you get them wet first) flatten the mixture into the pan.
- Now is when I add the chocolate chips. Sprinkle them on top and just push them in with your fingers or the spatula.
- While the mixture is still soft and warm use a knife and cut into 24 bars.
- I store these in baggies 4 per bag in the refrigerator. They last a long time refrigerated but they also freeze well.
