SUPER SEEDY GRANOLA BARS

Steps:

• Toast your oats and almonds in a 350-degree F (176 C) oven for 13-15 minutes or until slightly golden brown.
• Process dates in a food processor until small bits remain (about 1 minute). It should form a "dough" like consistency (mine rolled into a ball).
• Place oats, almonds and dates in a large mixing bowl. Add seeds and set aside.
• Warm agave and peanut or almond butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir and pour over oat mixture and then mix, breaking up the dates to disperse throughout. Use a spoon or your hands to thoroughly mix.
• Transfer to an 8×8 dish or other small pan lined with plastic wrap or parchment paper so they lift out easily. (Or use 2/3 of a 9×13 // as original recipe is written // adjust if altering batch size)
• Cover with parchment or plastic wrap and press down with something flat, such as a book, to get them really packed tight. This will help them from being crumbly. Chill in the fridge or freezer for 15-20 minutes to harden.
• Remove bars from dish and chop into 10 even bars (as original recipe is written // adjust if altering batch size). Store in an airtight container for up to a few days. I kept mine in the freezer to keep them extra fresh, but it isn't necessary.

SUPER SEED NO-BAKE CHEWY GRANOLA BARS

Steps:

• Line an 8 x 8 inch square pan with parchment paper (two layers in either direction to cover both sides of the pan).
• In a medium bowl, combine all dry ingredients (oats, cereal, sunflower seeds, flaxseed, raisins or chocolate chips, sesame seeds, salt) and then add the wet ingredients (nut or seed butter, brown rice syrup or maple syrup, coconut oil, vanilla extract).
• After mixing, transfer to the prepared baking dish and spread out to an even layer using a spatula or your wet fingers. If you have a pastry roller you can use that to press down firmly and achieve an even layer. I sometimes put a sheet of wax paper on top and roll a small glass on top to help flatten the mixture out evenly.
• Place in freezer for 1 hour..
• Slice into 10 even rectangular bars.
• To store, individually wrap them in portions of the parchment paper (tape to keep together). Store in the freezer and allow to thaw out for a couple minutes at room temperature before enjoying. As they unfreeze they will get softer so don't wait too long to enjoy.

Steps:

• Line the bottom and sides of an 8" square pan with plastic wrap and set aside. Place pitted dates, peanut butter (or almond butter), juice, honey and cinnamon in a food processor and pulse until puréed and paste-like. Place date mixture in a medium to large bowl. Add 2 cups of the granola bar mix, coconut and cranberries and mix well to combine. Spoon granola bar mixture into your prepared pan and very tightly pack it in. Pull the plastic wrap over the granola bar mixture to cover then refrigerate at least four hours to firm up. Unwrap the granola bar, lift out of pan and set on a cutting board. Use a sharp knife to cut the granola mixture in half. Now cut each half, widthwise, into 6 bars. Spread the remaining granola mix on a plate. Lightly coat each bar with a little bit of the mix. Individually wrap each bar in plastic wrap and keep refrigerated until ready to enjoy. Refrigerated bars will keep up to a month. Note: Medjool dates are available in our Produce Department. If using almond butter in this recipe and it is overly thick, you may need to add a little more to help these bars hold together. Recipe options: Instead of cranberries, try another dried fruit in these bars, such as blueberries or cherries.
