Ingredients For super seedy granola squares

  • 1 1/2 c
    rolled oats
  • 1/2 c
    raw almonds (chopped)
  • 1 c
    pitted dates (firmly packed)
  • 2 Tbsp
    chia seeds
  • 2 Tbsp
    sunflower seeds
  • 2 Tbsp
    flax seeds
  • 2 Tbsp
    hemp seeds
  • 1/4 c
    agave nectar
  • 1/4 c
    almond butter (creamy)

How To Make super seedy granola squares

  • 1
    Toast your oats and almonds in a 350 degree oven for 13-15 minutes or until slightly golden brown.
  • 2
    Chop pitted dates into small pieces. (Seems easy than trying to do it in food processor for me)
  • 3
    Place oats, almonds and dates in a large mixing bowl. Add seeds and set aside.
  • 4
    Warm 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.
  • 5
    Transfer to an 8×8 dish or other small pan lined with plastic wrap or parchment paper so they lift out easily.
  • 6
    Cover 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.
  • 7
    Remove 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.
