Coconut-Almond Bars

Food Storage Spotlight:

Coconut-Almond Bars by Jen Johnston

How To: Combine two cups rolled oats, one cup unsweetened coconut, and 1/2 cup each: dates (or raisins), raw almonds, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, and cashews. Mix 1 1/2 cups tahini (or natural peanut butter) with one cup honey and one teaspoon vanilla. Microwave for one minute. Combine wet and dry ingredients. On a greased baking sheet, spread mixture into a one-inch-high rectangle. Cut into 12 bars. Or, if time allows, bake at 350° F for 15 minutes.

*Nuts & seeds are high in oil and so can go rancid or stale quickly.  To prolong storage, place in freezer bag and store in fridge or for longer storage, place in freezer--where most nuts will store well for up to 6 months.
