Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1 1/2 cups mixed seeds (sunflower, chia, pumpkin)
  • pinch of salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Equipment

  • Small saucepan
  • Mixing bowl
  • Parchment paper
  • Spatula
  • Knife

Method
 

  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. In the small saucepan, gently warm the honey over low heat, stirring constantly until it becomes fragrant and slightly runny, about 2-3 minutes. This releases its sweetness and helps it blend easily.
  3. Meanwhile, in a mixing bowl, combine your mixed seeds with a pinch of salt and vanilla extract for added flavor.
  4. Pour the warm honey over the seed mixture, then stir vigorously with a spatula until all the seeds are evenly coated and sticky. The mixture should start clumping together.
  5. Transfer the seed mixture onto the prepared parchment-lined sheet. Use the spatula or dampened hands to press it firmly into an even layer, about half an inch thick. Pressing well helps the bars hold together.
  6. Place the sheet in the fridge and let it chill for at least 2 hours, or until the mixture is firm and set. For faster setting, you can freeze it for about 30-45 minutes.
  7. Once firm, lift the set mixture out using the parchment paper. Use a sharp knife to cut into bars or squares of your preferred size. Wiping the knife with a damp cloth between cuts ensures clean edges.
  8. Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or refrigerate for longer freshness. Enjoy as a quick snack or energy boost whenever needed!

Notes

Feel free to customize with your favorite seeds or add dried fruits for extra flavor. Make sure to press the mixture firmly to ensure the bars hold together well after setting.
