Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup mixed nuts almonds, cashews, walnuts, etc.
  • 1/2 cup seeds sunflower, pumpkin, chia, flaxseeds
  • 1 cup oats optional for extra fiber
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup or any preferred sweetener
  • 1/4 cup nut butter peanut butter, almond butter, etc.
  • 1/4 cup dried fruit raisins, cranberries, or apricots (optional)
  • 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips optional
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract optional
  • Pinch of salt

Equipment

  • Oven (if baking)
  • Baking tray (lined with parchment paper)
  • Mixing bowls
  • Spoon or spatula
  • Small saucepan (for melting the sweetener and nut butter)
  • Knife (to cut the bars into pieces)

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) if you are baking the bars. Line a baking tray with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. In a dry pan over low heat, lightly toast the mixed nuts and seeds for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. This step is optional but adds great flavor.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the toasted nuts, seeds, oats (if using), and dried fruit. Stir to mix evenly.
  4. In a small saucepan, melt the honey (or maple syrup) and nut butter over low heat until smooth. Stir in vanilla extract and a pinch of salt, if desired.
  5. Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and mix well until everything is fully coated and sticky.
  6. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking tray and press it down firmly using a spoon or your hands to compact the mixture.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or refrigerate for about 2-3 hours to set the bars.
  8. Once done, let the bars cool, then cut them into squares or rectangles.
  9. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or refrigerate for longer shelf life.

Notes

  • You can adjust the ingredients based on your preferences—try adding coconut flakes, chia seeds, or a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra flavor.
  • If you want a vegan version, use maple syrup instead of honey and ensure the nut butter is plant-based.
  • For a gluten-free version, make sure to use certified gluten-free oats.
  • You can store these bars for up to a week at room temperature or freeze them for longer storage.
  • These bars are also a great energy booster for athletes or anyone who needs a quick snack during the day.
