Date, Cranberry and Seed Crunchola Bars!
Eat seeds!!! And dried fruit by the bucketload with this almost healthy seed snack bar recipe!! Why?.. New year why!!!
In January as I gaze at myself longingly in the mirror I appreciate that some out there want a bit of boom about themselves. Well here's how!!
You will need
225 pitted dates
150 grams of oats
100 grams of sunflower seeds
50 grams of pumpkin seeds
75 grams of dried cranberrys
2 tablespoons of chia seeds
3 tablespoons of honey
50 grams of butter
WTFZ! Look at all that health Ok maybe not the butter but everything else!
Let's get busy!
To Make
Get your oven on! 180 degrees. This is a quick recipe so everything will be ready when the oven is!
Bang your dates into a food processor and whizz up until they are like an insane sticky fudge
Melt the butter gently in a pan and then stir in your honey. Leave it in a bowl to cool for a couple of minutes
Toast your sunflower and pumpkin seeds on a medium heat for a couple of minutes. Everything tastes better toasted!!
Add your sticky, fudge'y date mix into the butter and honey (I know, it looks like poop)
Now tip your toasted seeds, oats, chia seeds and cranberries into the bowl with the butter and honey
Get your hand in and knead/squeeze it into a cohesive lump
Wallop it into a baking tray that you have lightly greased so it doesn't stick. You will have to push it flat quite hard with your hand
Get it in the oven for twenty minutes
When ready take it out and let it cool down before slicing into bars or squares
Awesome!!!
I like to imagine below your home is a boutique kitchen cafe.
ps, had to add you to a streemian fanbase thingy so i no miss my daily meesterboom report.
Why thank you, in that case I apologise in advance for some of the potential dross you may suffer for the sake of the odd gem! ;0)
These look good and something that I would make. Thanks for sharing @meesterboom!
Glad you like! You just can't beat a sweet fruity nonsense something!!
I like that gif!
Any butter substitution suggestions for those of us with dairy issues?
You can stick in a big tablespoon of peanut butter. It changes the flavour but not in a bad way or you could just add a few more dates!
You Eat seeds pal!! LOL, great post!
Seed daft me!! Cheers lass!
Maybe you can ship some to switzerland?
Haha, if for a minute I thought they would survive I would! :O)
