These tasty treats are a result of the great cupboard and fridge purge of 2019.

Lol.

I had a few tablespoons left of a whole bunch of different seeds from the bottoms of my bulk bags as well as a Costco sized bag of dates in the fridge that needed to be used up.

Oats? Check.

I had all the makings for some pretty wicked granola bars. Do people even say wicked anymore? I’m probably showing my age. I should describe these granola bars as sick or something like that. Haha.

Verbiage aside, these bars are super tasty and that is universal. I used a new to me method to get that really sleek flat top. My coworker taste tester said they looked like marble.

They were popular by the way. Sick!

How did I get a really flat top on the bars? After I pressed granola into the parchment lined pan, I laid another piece of parchment on top and I used a container of frozen bone broth from the freezer for something really hefty to push the ingredients firmly down. Then I popped it into the freezer and left the heavy container on top of it.

It worked like a charm! They sliced up super straight, had firm, flat tops and my OCD self was in heaven.

Enjoy!

Ingredients
  

Instructions
 

  • In a large mixing bowl, stir together the dry ingredients (the first 9) and set aside.
  • In a small saucepan over medium low heat, melt together the brown rice syrup, peanut butter and sea salt. Stir until smooth.
  • Pour the peanut butter mixture over the dry ingredients and stir well.
  • Line a 9×9 dish with parchment and press the mixture in well. Cover it with another piece of parchment and use a heavy object (I used a frozen container of bone broth) to really press it down well. Leave the heavy object on top and pop the dish into the freezer for an hour.
  • Cut into bars and store in the freezer.
