- 1 cup pitted dates (firmly packed)

How To Make super seedy granola squares
-
Step 1Toast your oats and almonds in a 350 degree oven for 13-15 minutes or until slightly golden brown.
-
Step 2Chop pitted dates into small pieces. (Seems easy than trying to do it in food processor for me)
-
Step 3Place oats, almonds and dates in a large mixing bowl. Add seeds and set aside.
-
Step 4Warm agave and peanut or almond butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir and pour over oat mixture and then mix, breaking up the dates to disperse throughout. Use a spoon or your hands to thoroughly mix.
-
Step 5Transfer to an 8×8 dish or other small pan lined with plastic wrap or parchment paper so they lift out easily.
-
Step 6Cover with parchment or plastic wrap and press down with something flat, such as a book, to get them really packed tight. This will help them from being crumbly. Chill in the fridge or freezer for 15-20 minutes to harden.
-
Step 7Remove from dish and chop into 16 even squares. Store in an airtight container for up to a few days. I kept mine in the freezer to keep them extra fresh, but it isn’t necessary.
