Makes 24 bites
Preparation time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

For the liquid base:

  • ¼ cup L&B Pure Maple Syrup
  • ¼ cup L&B Honey
  • 1 cup salted Old Home Creamy Peanut Butter
  • 3 tablespoons coconut oil

For the dry base:

  • 1 ½ cups organic regular oats
  • ⅔ cup raw sliced almonds
  • ⅓ cup roasted salted sunflower seeds (can use raw)
  • ¼ cup ground flax meal
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • ½ cup Craisins (dried cranberries)
  • ½ cup unsweetened coconut, shredded or flakes
  • ½ teaspoons sea salt
  • Parchment paper

Directions

  1. In small sauce pan, combine the liquid base ingredients and heat on low until coconut oil is melted. (Do not boil or overheat; just heat enough to melt the oil.) Whisk ingredients until emulsified and creamy. Set aside to cool slightly.
  2. In large bowl, combine dry base ingredients and mix well. Pour liquid base into dry base and stir with a spatula until well combined.
  3. Spread out on parchment paper-lined cookie sheet and form into a 12-inch x 6-inch log. Wrap log up in the parchment paper and press to make sure the shape holds together nicely. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
  4. Cut the log into 1 ½-inch x 2-inch squares by dividing the log into 8 cuts across the length and 3 cuts across the width. Store in a covered container and keep chilled. Will keep up to 2 weeks … if they last that long!
