Fruit and Seed Bars

Another Great Recipe for kids. These bars are super healthy and filling. And I love them - although its hard not to eat too many. This one is from www.weelicious.com too - but I altered it for what I had in my kitchen.

What you  need:

    1 cup old fashioned oats
    1/2 cup raw pumpkin seeds (also known as pepitas)
    1/2 cup raw sunflower seeds
    1/2 cup raw sesame seeds
    2 tablespoons flax seeds
    1 cup dried fruit (blueberries, raisins, currants, cranberries and/or cherries)
    1/2 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
    1/3 cup honey
    1/2 cup sunflower oil (or coconut oil)

What you do:

    1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
    2. In a food processor, pulse the first 6 ingredients until finely chopped (it’s ok if there are few coarsely chopped pieces).
    3. Add the honey and sunflower and pulse until starting to combine.
    4. Pour the mixture into a 9 x 9 inch pan, greased then line with parchment (or tin foil) and press down into the pan until    completely even.
    4. Bake for 25 minutes.
    5. Let the bars completely cool before cutting with a serrated knife into bars.
    6. Serve.
