Instructions
Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a large bowl, combine the chopped almonds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, chia seeds, and flaxseeds.
Prepare the Wet Mixture:
In a small saucepan, warm the honey and almond butter over low heat until smooth and well combined. Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
Combine Mixtures:
Pour the warm honey mixture over the nut and seed mixture. Stir until all the nuts and seeds are thoroughly coated.
Form Bars:
Scoop about 1/4 cup of the mixture and shape it into a round or flat bar. Place it onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining mixture, spacing the bars evenly on the sheet.
Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
Cool and Set:
Remove from the oven and let the bars cool completely on the baking sheet. They will firm up as they cool.
Serve and Store:
- Once cooled, store the bars in an airtight container. Enjoy them as a quick and nutritious snack!
Notes
Ensure nuts and seeds are fresh for best flavor.
Bars need to cool completely to firm up.
Store in an airtight container for up to a week.
