So what’s in them?

  • 1 cup roasted unsalted almonds
  • ½ cup pumpkin seeds
  • ½ cup sunflower seeds
  • ¼ cup unsweetened coconut flakes
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp melted coconut oil

Putting it all together

This one-bowl recipe is quick and easy to put together in less than 10 minutes and then you let the oven do the rest! Since the almonds are much larger than the seeds we like to chop up half of the almonds first and then keep the other half whole. Toss the whole and chopped almonds into a medium-sized bowl and add in the seeds, coconut flakes, salt and cinnamon and give it a stir. Then add in the wet ingredients, vanilla extract, honey and melted coconut oil. Gently stir the mixture until the nuts and seeds are fully coated with the wet ingredients. Pour mixture into an oiled, parchment-lined 8×8” baking dish. Use a flat spatula to firmly press the mixture into an even layer, you may also want to spray the spatula with oil to help the mix from sticking. Add the bars into a preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes depending on your oven. Once fully cooked remove from the oven and place the pan on a cooling rack. Use your spatula again to press down the mixture. Allow to fully cool (about an hour) before removing from the pan to cut into bars.
