Ingredients

  • ¼ cup white chia seeds
  • 1 cup pumpkin seeds
  • ½ cup sesame seeds
  • ½ cup currants or raisins
  • ½ cup shredded coconut
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • cup honey

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 325. 
  • In a large bowl combine all of the ingredients. 
  • Lightly grease an 8x8 pan and line with parchment paper.  Add the seed mixture and firmly press down (use another piece of parchment on top for this.)
  • Bake for 50 minutes.
  • Place in the refrigerator for 1 hour.  Using a serrated knife, slice into 20 small pieces. 

Notes

Store in the refrigerator for up to 10 days. 
  • White chia seeds - you can use black, the white are more attractive in a snack.
  • Pumpkin Seeds - could also use sunflower seeds.
  • Currants - can use raisins or small bite size pieces of your favorite dried fruit - like apples, blueberries, cranberries.
  • Vanilla Extract - I use my Easy Homemade Vanilla Extract
  • Tip - It will be sticky, a rubber spatula makes mixing the ingredients easy.
  • Tip - Tear off an extra sheet of parchment paper or waxed paper and lay it over the top.  Press down using the back of a measuring cup or your hands.  So easy!   Press it down so that it's even.
  • Tip - if any of the bars crumble, it's great on top of yogurt or ice cream!
