healthy(ish) no-bake choc nut bars

These are really quick and easy to make, relatively healthy and you don't have to bake them.  they are nice for something sweet after dinner.  Keep them in the fridge in summer.   Almond butter and coconut oil are quite expensive and hard to find so I use peanut butter and canola oil instead.  You could also substitute other types of seeds and nuts and dried fruit, as long as you keep the quantities the same.


Makes 16 bars 

Ingredients

1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup coconut oil (or canola oil)
1/4 cup almond butter (or peanut butter)
1/4 tsp. sea salt
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup chopped almonds
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
1/2 cup shredded coconut
1/4 sunflower seeds
1/4 pumpkin seeds
1/4 goji berries (or cranberries or raisins)
1 cup rolled oats


Heat honey, coconut oil, almond butter, sea salt, vanilla and cinnamon in a saucepan over low heat. 

Combine chopped almonds, chopped walnuts, dark chocolate chips, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, goji berries and rolled oats in a bowl. 

Stir wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Press into a greased 8" x 8" pan and refrigerate until hardened. Cut into 16 bars.
