Snacks are a big deal when you always on the go like we are and especially you add a Toddler to the mix. Making your own granola/energy bars is incredibly simple, that even the most definitive non-cook will be able to do it. This recipe was inspired by the Vegan family cookbook "Peas and Thank You" by Sarah Matheny. The combination of sweet and salty is scrumptious!
2 tbsp flax seeds (3 tbsp if ground)
1/2 cup maple syrup or agave
1 tsp sea salt
1 cup roasted whole almonds coarsely chopped
1/2 cup chopped dried apricots
1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Line an 8x8 baking dish with parchment paper.
Combine flax seeds in a small bowl with the syrup or agave and salt.
Coarsely chop almonds and apricots and add them to a large bowl along with coconut. Pour in flax mixture and toss until evenly coated.
Spread mixture into lined dish. Bake for 25 minutes until slightly browned and edges crisp.
Once slightly cool, make cuts then let sit for an hour or two until hardened into bar.
Store in airtight container. Keeps for 2-3 days.
