Ingredients
- 150 grams Sesame seeds
- 100 grams Rolled oats
- 100 ml Honey
- 80 grams Almond butter
- 50 grams Dried cranberries
- 40 grams Sunflower seeds
- 20 grams Chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the sesame seeds, rolled oats, sunflower seeds, dried cranberries, and chia seeds. Mix well.
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the almond butter and honey. Stir constantly until they are well mixed and smooth. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Pour the almond butter mixture over the dry ingredients and stir until everything is evenly coated.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish, pressing down firmly with a spatula to ensure it is tightly packed.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool completely in the dish on a wire rack.
Once cool, lift the mixture out of the dish using the parchment paper and cut into 12 bars.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
