Ingredients
90g (1 cup)rolled oats
30g (1/4 cup)sunflower seeds
30g (1/4 cup)pumpkin seeds
3big Tbspdate pastejust blend dates and some water together
Toast the oats, pumpkin seeds, and sunflower seeds in a pan on the stove or in the oven first to bring out more flavor. (Oven: 150 C / 300 F, bake for about 10 minutes) This toasting step is optional, but it really brings out the flavors from the oats and seeds.
In a food processor, add the toasted oats and seeds. Pulse for about 10 times to roughly chop them up.
In a big bowl, add the date paste, almond butter, and melted coconut oil. Mix to combine.
Add other ingredients to the bowl and stir to mix evenly.
Line a loaf pan with parchment paper. Transfer the mixture to the pan and press down firmly.
Place into the freezer for 10-20 minutes or 2 hours in the fridge to set up. Then chop into bars and EAT!
