I found this recipe in the Oxygen Magazine this summer.  I made if for our DC trip and it is amazing!  I wouldn’t eat this all the time and make sure to use in moderation!  It provides you with all the things you need for a complete snack.  I used a 1/4 cup with 1/2 cup of greek yogurt for a snack, it satisfies my sweet and crunchy fix!

Ingredients:

  • 3/4 cup sunflower seeds
  • 1 1/2 cups oatmeal
  • 1/4 cup ground flaxseed
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/2 cup slivered almonds
  • 1/2 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
  • 3 tbsp natural peanut butter
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/3 cup raw honey
  • 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 300 degrees.  In a large bowl, combine all ingredients and mix until evenly blended.  Press mixture into a baking pan and bake for 40 minutes.  Enjoy 1/2 cup as a superfood snack.
