Vegan No Bake Granola Bars

INGREDIENTS

1.5 cups rolled oats

1/2 cup pumpkin seeds

1/2 pecan pieces raw

1/2 sunflower seeds raw,

400g raisins

Good pinch of salt

1 tsp cocoa

1 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/4 cup of nut butter of your choice

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C
Spread the oats on a large baking tray and toast for 10 -15 minuets until lightly toasted
Set aside and allow to cool
Place the raisins in a food processor and process it until it all comes together as a ball (almost like making a dough in a food processor)
Place the oats, dates, pumpkin and sunflower seeds, salt, cocoa, cinnamon and vanilla in a large bowl and mix (I find doing this with your hands the easiest way)
Warm the nut butter over low heat while stirring
Pour over the oat mixture and mix until well combined. You might have to add a tbsp or two of hot water to get the mix to stick together. Use your hands to mix if easier
Once thoroughly mixed, transfer to an 20cm x 20 cm square pan lined with plastic wrap or baking paper and press down until flattened
Cover with plastic wrap and let it set in the fridge for about an hour to set and harden
Once set, slice into 12 - 16 bars and store in an airtight container for up to a few days
