SEEDED OAT BARS
Yields 8-12 servings
Ingredients:

2 C. PureLiving Sprouted Rolled Oats

1/2 C. PureLiving Sprouted Pumpkin Seeds

1/2 C. PureLiving Sprouted Sunflower Seeds

3 Tbsp. PureLiving Sprouted Chia Seeds

1/2 C. Shiloh Farms Raw Alfalfa Honey or pure maple syrup

2 Tbsp. unsalted butter

1/4 tsp. Shiloh Farms Himalayan Pink Salt

Directions:

1.  Preheat oven to 325°

2.  Butter and line 8″ square pan; set aside

3.  Spread oats and seeds evenly on two baking sheets; bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden, stirring occasionally to assure uniform toasting

4.  Remove oat mixture from oven; transfer to medium bowl and set aside

5.  Combine honey, butter, and salt in a small saucepan and bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium low and cook for about 10 minutes, or until syrup start to thicken

6.  Pour hot syrup over oat mixture and stir to combine; quickly spread mixture in prepared pan and pack down evenly

7. Cut into bars; allow to cool completely before separating bars and storing in an air-tight container

VariationS:

1.  Try adding dried cranberries, raisins, or even chocolate chips for a little extra sweetness. Just stir in when combining the syrup and oat mixtures and proceed as directed.
2.  Prefer things a little nuttier? Substitute an equal portion of pine nuts or sliced almonds for the pumpkin or sunflower seeds.
