Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cup flax seed meal
- 1 1/4 cup quick cook oats
- 1 cup dried fruit chopped ( cranberries, dates, cherries, etc)
- 1/2 cup cacao nibs
- 2/3 plus cup of honey, agave, or pure maple syrup
- 2/3 cup natural unsweetened nut butter ( peanut cashew or sunflower)
- 1/4 cup water

Preparation
Step 1
Line 9 inch square pan w/ foil or parchment paper and spray with an non stick cooking spray.
Place Flax seed meal,oats,seeds,dried fruit, and cacao nibs in the food processor
Meanwhile Combine the honey ( or sweetener), nut butter and water in a sauce pan and cook on medium heat stirring for 4-5 minutes until slightly bubbly
Remove from heat and stir in vanilla
Immediately pour the honey mixture over the flax seed mix in the food processor. Process using on and off pulses until the mix is finely chopped and begins to clump together.
Transfer mixture into pan and flatten down with a piece of wax paper or a pastry roller.
(I sprinkle a little extra nibs and whole flax seeds on top.)
