Ingredients
  

  • 100 g dried dates - pitted
  • 50 g dried apricots
  • 60 g virgin coconut oil - melted
  • 1/2 - 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp almond butter - optional
  • 50 g almonds
  • 50 g pumpkin seeds
  • 50 g sesame seeds
  • 50 g sunflower seeds
  • 1 tbsp banana powder - optional
  • 2 tbsp bee pollen - if you don't have it, leave it out

Instructions
 

  • Place all the ingredients into a food processor and blend until they stick together. You will need to scrape the sides down a couple of times to get to this point. If you don't have a food processor make it with whole seeds, and chop the nuts into small pieces. My kids won't eat seeds but will eat them chopped up like this!
  • Find an appropriately sized dish (depending on how deep you want your bars to be) and press the mixture firmly in.
  • Place in the fridge for a few hours to set.
  • If you want to add a chocolate top, melt some good quality dark chocolate (check ingredients) and pour over the top. Alternatively, buy the raw chocolate kit from Indigo Herbs or use my recipe for raw mint chocolate, leaving out the mint if you just want plain chocolate.
  • Place back in the fridge before cutting into bars and storing in the fridge.
