Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp whole flax seeds
  • ½ cup almonds
  • 1 tbsp white sesame seeds
  • ½ cup cashews
  • 5-6 dates
  • 1 large egg white
  • tsp pepitas, pumpkin seeds
  • 2 tbsp tbsp warm water
  • ¾ tsp kosher salt
  • ¼ cup sunflower seeds
  • 2 tbsp pure maple syrup

Instructions
 

  • Place the oven rack in the middle. Preheat the oven to 300°F.
  • Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with aluminium foil. Then add cashews, flax seeds, pepitas, sesame seeds, almonds, and sunflower seeds.
  • Stir after 10 minutes into the 15-minute baking period. You will need to roast the ingredients until they turn pale golden and are fragrant.
  • After the mixture has cooled, transfer it to a food processor. About five pulses will coarsely chop the ingredients. Move the mixture to a medium-sized bowl.
  • Fill the empty food processor with maple syrup, egg whites, 3 pitted dates, warm water, and salt. Process until smooth. If you need to, scrape down the bowl’s sides.
  • Cut the remainder of the pitted dates into pieces in about 1⁄8 inch cubes. In a bowl with the nut mixture, combine the chopped dates and the processed date mixture. Mix thoroughly.
  • You can fold two long sheets of aluminium foil so that each is eight inches wide to make a foil sling for an 8-inch square baking pan. Lay foil sheets perpendicularly in the pan, letting the excess edges hang over the pan.
  • Press the foil into the corners and up the sides of the pan so that it is flush with the pan.  Grease lightly.
  • Fill the prepared pan with the energy bar mix. Use a greased measuring cup bottom to press the mixture into an even layer.
  • Bake the bars at 300°F for 20 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through. Take the pan out of the oven. Don’t switch off the oven. Spread parchment paper over a sheet pan and place bars evenly.
  • 15 minutes are sufficient for cooling the bars in the pan. With a foil sling, lift the bars out of the pan and transfer them to a cutting board. Cut them into 10 bars.
  • You should bake the bars for about 10 to 15 minutes until they have a deep golden brown colour. On a wire rack, let bars cool for approximately one hour.
