Since y’all enjoyed our recipes for bars a lot, we decided to share with you a couple of our favorite ones. The first one uses Sunflowers :O
Preparation time: 10 minutes
cooking time: 30-35 minutes
- 2 tbsp. (30ml) of grounded flax seeds
- 6 tbsp. (90ml) of water
- 1/3 cup (83ml) of organic sunflower oil
- 1/2 cup (125ml) of organic cane sugar
- 2 tbsp. (30ml) of organic agave syrup
- 1 tsp. (5ml) of vanilla
- 1/2 cup (125ml) of organic sunflower butter
- 1/2 cup (125ml) of organic sorghum flour
- 1/2 cup (125ml) of organic brown rice flour
- 1/2 tsp. (2.5ml) of xanthan gum
- 1/2 tsp. (2.5ml) of baking powder
- 1 pinch of salt
- 1 cup (250ml) of organic oat flakes
- 1/2 cup (125ml) of quinoa flakes
- 2 cups of quinoa puffs
- 1/2 cup of chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup of pumpkin seeds
- Preheat the oven to 375º.
- Combine the flax seeds and the water and set it aside for 10 minutes.
- Put together the flours, the xanthan gum, the baking powder, the salt, the oat flakes and the quinoa flakes.
- In another bowl, mix the flax seed mix, the sunflower oil, the sugar, the agave syrup, the vanilla and the sunflower butter.
- Add in gradually the flour mix to the liquid. Stir in the quinoa puffs, the chocolate chips and the pumpkin seeds.
- In a greased 8″x13″ oven dish, press in the dough and cook for 30-35 minutes or until golden.
- When you remove it from the oven, let it cool completely before you transfer it on a wire rack. If you don’t wait until it’s cold, the bars won’t hold.
What do our readers say about this recipe?
“Oh my gosh!!! Got this recipe from your blog today. As soon as I saw it I ran into the kitchen to get all the ingredients I could find in my pantry. Delicious, healthy, easy tasty treat! Thank you so much!!!”
“I just made these bars for the first time tonight. They are delicious! The flax adds a great nutty taste, and they are not too sweet.”
“I just wanted to say that I love your blog! I’m just starting on the Paleo Diet, and you are definitely one of my favorites. I found your recipe for the paleo bread at Whole Foods yesterday, and made it this morning. It tastes fantastic! My husband asked me if I could make him some almond flour bread since he hasn’t had any since becoming paleo, and if there is any chance of you publishing this recipe so he can make it. He’s been stuck on grain free foods due to kidney damage, but since he hasn’t had any grain-free bread, he was skeptical.”
“I tried to make this recipe into muffins. It didn’t work well. The batter was very runny, so I added more flour and finally ended up with a big mess. I needed to use my mini blender to grind the flax seeds up, but still couldn’t get it mixed well enough.”
