Grain Free "Granola" Bars- kid tested and approved

This is a great snack/breakfast option for those trying to stay away from gluten and or grains. 

1 Tbs pumpkin seeds

1 Tbs sunflower seeds

1 Tbs raisins

1 Tbs finely shredded coconut

1 Tbs chopped dried apple rings. (About 4 rings)

3 small dates finely chopped

1 tsp raw honey

1 Tbs sunflower butter

1- 1/2 Tbs coconut oil

Instructions

-First mix the sunflower butter, coconut oil and honey together. You can melt it all together in the microwave or the stove top. 

Set aside

- Chop all your ingredients that need to be chopped, then add everything else above to the bowl of melted goodness. 

-Give a good mix. You can leave it as is, or pop it in a food processor and give it a very quick pulse or two. I do this since I am making them for my 18 month old, and he still only has 4 teeth. I find they hold together better this way as well.

-Line a muffin tin with liners and add a spoonful of the mixture to each muffin cup. This recipe yields about 6 "bars"

-Pop it in the freezer for about 10 min and viola!  

-Store in a zip lock bag in the fridge 

They will get a bit soft if left at room temperature. 

-Enjoy!!

* Variations- you can really add in about any type of dried fruit, seed or nuts you would like. I kept mine but free for my little one with food intolerances.
