Coconut Almond Bars

I got this recipe from Active.com, it sounded good but actually tasted way better than I expected. It's healthy, yummy and super easy to make - can't get much better than that!

2 cups rolled oats
1 cup unsweetened coconut
½ cup dates (or raisins)
½ cup raw almonds
½ cup sesame seeds
½ cup sunflower seeds
½ cup cashews
1 ½ cups tahini (or natural peanut butter)
1 cup honey
1 teaspoon vanilla.

Combine rolled oats, unsweetened coconut, dates (or raisins), raw almonds, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, and cashews. Mix tahini (or natural peanut butter) with honey and one 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.


My first attempt ended up a bit squishy in the middle, but that's likely the fault of my ancient oven.
