Time 1h

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup pumpkin seeds ( raw)
½ cup sunflower seeds ( raw)
1 heaping cup large flaked coconut (unsweetened)
¼ cup sesame seeds
¼ cup chia seeds
¼ cup flax seeds ( or sub hemp seeds )
generous pinch salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
½ cup honey ( warmed for easier mixing- heat jar in a hot water bath) or brown rice syrup or maple syrup- see notes

Steps:

  • preheat oven to 325F (300 F if electric oven)
  • Mix the seeds and salt together in a medium bowl. Stir in vanilla and warm honey, until uniformly combined.
  • Place a piece of parchment in an 8 x 8 baking pan ( all the way up the sides too) . Spray lightly with oil.
  • Pour seed mix into lightly greased, parchment-lined pan and using a wet metal spatula, spread it out, into corners and edges and press down firmly until you have a compacted, smooth surface at a uniform depth.
  • Place on the middle rack in the oven for 40-55 minutes. Check at 25 minutes adjusting heat down to 300F, if edges seem too brown. For a chewy consistency, take out at 40-45 minutes, for a crispier crunchy consistency, let it cook the full 50 -55 minutes. Keep in mind, all ovens are different, so heat may vary. The key is....You want to take them out when they are perfectly golden, before they get too dark. So keep a close eye on them after 40 minutes. If you take them out too early (before they are golden) they may be too chewy and sticky. Pay attention to the color.
  • For example, I've cooked these in two different ovens. In the gas oven, 50-55 minutes delivered perfectly golden bars. In the electric oven, 40 minutes were enough for perfectly golden. 55 minutes would have totally burnt them.
  • Remove from oven, and cool completely. You could place in the fridge to cool faster. When it's completely cooled, take the parchment out of the pan, turn it over and remove parchment. Flip back over and cut into desired shapes or bars. Store at room temp.

Categories     Breakfast     Snack

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 cups rolled oats ((gluten-free for GF eaters))
1/2 cup raw almonds, walnuts, or pecans ((roughly chopped))
1 heaping (seriously) packed cup dates ((pitted // deglet noor or medjool)*)
2 Tbsp chia seeds* ((see note))
2 Tbsp sunflower seeds ((roasted or raw))
2 Tbsp flax seeds ((ground or whole))
2 Tbsp hemp seeds
1/4 cup agave nectar or maple syrup ((or honey if not vegan))
1/4 cup creamy salted natural peanut butter or almond butter
Chocolate chips, dried fruit, other nuts, banana chips, etc.

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.

SUNFLOWER GRANOLA BARS



Sunflower Granola Bars image

Filled to the brim with sunflower seeds, pistachios (or your favorite nut), peanut butter, and flaxseed meal, they pack a punch full of texture, heart healthy fats, and fiber. Plus, they're delicious and incredibly satisfying. Easy to make and loaded with flavor, you can customize these granola bars to include your favorite ingredients. For example, you can substitute any kind of chopped nuts for the sunflower seeds or peanuts, or swap out a different kind of nut butter in place of the peanut butter. It is important that you use ground flaxseeds, available at natural food stores. If you buy whole flaxseeds, you can grind them at home in your spice grinder. If you're gluten-sensitive, be sure your oats are gluten-free. For soy-free, use a soy-free vegan butter. From Robin Roberson's new book Nut Butter Universe and posted on The Vegan Chickpea. I love Robin's recipes!

Time 35m

Yield 12 bars

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 1/2 cups old fashioned oats
1 cup sunflower seeds
3/4 cup ground flax seed
1/2 cup chopped unsalted peanuts (I used pistachios) or 1/2 cup other chopped nuts (I used pistachios)
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup flaked coconut
1/2 cup pure maple syrup
2/3 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup vegan butter (I used Earth Balance)
1/2 cup raw sugar
1 tablespoon apple juice
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking soda

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325*F. Lightly grease a 8" square baking pan.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, sunflower seeds, flaxseeds, pistachios, raisins, and coconut in a large bowl. Set aside.
  • In a saucepan, combine maple syrup, peanut butter, butter, and sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar is desolved and the mixture is smooth. Stir in the apple juice, vanilla, and baking soda, and remove from heat.
  • Pour into the oats mixture and stir until well combined. Transfer the mixture into the prepared pan. Place a piece of plastic wrap on top and top with another pan or a book that will fit inside the baking pan to weigh it down. Use your hands to press down on the weight firmly and evenly so that the mixture spreads evenly in the pan. Remove the weight and the plastic wrap and bake for 20 minutes. Cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate until firm. Use a sharp knife to cut into 12 bars and store them in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
