1/2cup(70g)dried fruit(I used raisins, cranberries, chopped apricots)
1/4cup(65g)tahini
1/4cup(85g)maple syrup(or any other liquid sweetener)
Instructions
You can watch the video in the post for visual instructions.Line a baking pan (mine was 7x7 resp. 18x18 cm) with parchment paper and preheat the oven to 350 °F (175 °C).
Meanwhile, prepare the flax egg by combining the ground flax seeds and water in a small bowl, mixing well, and setting it aside for 5 minutes.
Add all dry ingredients to a bowl and stir to combine.
Add in the wet ingredients (also the flax egg) and mix thoroughly.
Transfer the mixture evenly to the lined pan and press it down firmly using a spatula.
Bake for about 25 minutes, then let cool completely, slice into bars and enjoy!
Notes
Oats: You could experiment with millet flakes or quinoa flakes instead of oats.
Mix and match nuts and seeds: These healthy granola bars are super versatile, so use whatever nuts and seeds you have on hand. I used 1/2 cup (64 g) sunflower seeds, 1/4 cup (36 g) peanuts, 1/4 cup (36 g) pumpkin seeds, and 2 tbsp hemp seeds.
For more flavor: You could toast the nuts and seeds in a dry pan until fragrant.
The yield: This recipe makes a small batch, double the recipe if you have a larger pan like 8x8 or 9x9.
