Granola Bars

 

- 2 cups steel cut oats

- 1 cup sunflower seeds (raw)

- 1 cup Almonds

- 1 T Butter

- 1 cup Peanut Butter (all natural nothing added REAL PEANUT BUTTER!)

- cup Molasses

- cup honey

- tsp. Sea Salt

 

Place almonds in a small baggy and lightly smash with a hammer, meat tenderizer, baseball bat, whatever is handy.  Then mix almond pieces, sunflower seeds, and oats on a cookie sheet.  Place in 350 degree oven for 10-12 minutes (stirring them occasionally).  In the meantime, place all other ingredients in a small sauce pan over medium low heat (stir frequently) until the peanut butter has thinned and is easily mixed with the other ingredients. 

 

Combine the oat the dry and wet ingredients in a bowl and mix thoroughly (until all the dry ingredients have at least a small coating of the PB mixture).  Place in a 9"x 9" container with sides. Place a strong even pressure downward over the mixture (to pack the granola bars together).  Place in the fridge for 1-2 hours or until completely cooled before cutting.
