Super Quick Oat Bars

Supper quick and easy recipe thanks to The Kind Life with Alicia Silverstone  I love the fact that she took the time time searching for recipe ideas without added sugar, syrup or honey so I did not have too :)  That makes these snacks great for anytime and you can easily change up the seeds, dried fruit and even the grain to make them super versatile.
  • 1 1/2 cups Oats or Quinoa Flakes
  • 1/2 cup Cashews (Pulsed in Food Processor until a Fine Flour)
  • 1/2 cup Sunflower Feeds
  • 1/4 cup Flax Seeds
  • 4 Medjool Dates
  • 1 cup Raisins or craisins
  • 1/2 cup Dried Apricots
  • 1 tablespoon Coconut Oil

Directions

  1. In a large bowl add oats, cashews, sunflower seeds, flax and sesame seeds.
  2. In a food processor add the remaining ingredients and continue to blend until a paste is formed. This will take a little while so give it 30 seconds - 1 minute
  3. Add the wet mixture to the dry combining well.
  4. Lightly grease (I use coconut oil) an 8x8" pan and press mixture well to form and even layer.  Bake in the oven at 160 degrees celsius for 10 minutes.
  5. Cool and slice, great for kids lunches or snacks on the go!
