Preparation

Step 1

In a medium bowl combine the almond meal, ground flax, pumpkin and sunflower seeds.
In another bowl combine the oil or butter, molasses, eggs and vanilla.
Add wet mixture to dry and mix well.
Stir in the dried fruit and chocolate chips.
Press into a 9×9 pan that has been greased or lined with parchment paper.
Bake at 350 F for 20 minutes.
Cool before cutting.
Chocolate chip options:
Instead of adding the chocolate chips to the batter, as soon as the bars come out of the oven, top with ½ cup chocolate chips. When the chocolate melts spread it evenly over the top.
