Yield Makes 12 bars

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup whole flaxseed (or 2/3 cup ground flax)
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/3 cup honey
Pinch salt (two pinches if peanut butter is unsalted)
1/3 cup water
2/3 cup dried fruits (raisins, cranberries, chopped apricots, etc.)
2/3 cup nuts or seeds (sunflower, pumpkin, chopped almonds, etc.)

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 325.
  • 2. Grind whole flaxseed in a coffee or spice grinder. Combine with peanut butter, honey, salt, and water in large bowl and stir to combine.
  • 3. Add dried fruits, nuts and seeds in whatever combination you like. Batter will be very stiff.
  • 4. Spray 12 cup muffin tin with nonstick spray and divide batter evenly into cups. Use damp fingers to press batter into cups and flatten tops.
  • 5. Bake 25 to 30 minutes until tops are dry and edges are a deep, toasty brown (bars will not rise). Cool completely and store in air-tight container for up to two weeks.
