Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325°F. Lightly coat a 13x9" pan with nonstick spray and line with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on both long sides; spray parchment.
- Pulse 3/4 cup fruit and 1/2 cup hot water in a food processor until smooth and incorporated, 3-4 minutes. Add honey, almond butter, cinnamon, salt, and vanilla and pulse until combined, about 15 seconds. Add 1/2 cup oats and pulse until well combined, 30-45 seconds. Add pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, coconut, and remaining 1 cup oats and 1/2 cup fruit. Pulse until just combined, about 15 seconds.
- Transfer mixture to prepared pan, pressing down until completely even. Bake granola until darkened, firm around the edges, and the center gives just slightly when pressed, about 35 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack and let cool in pan. Remove granola using parchment overhang, then cut into 20 bars with a serrated knife.
- Do Ahead
- Granola can be made 5 days ahead. Keep tightly wrapped at room temperature.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
- In a food processor, pulse the first 6 ingredients until finely chopped (it's ok if there are few coarsely chopped pieces).
- Add the honey and sunflower and pulse until starting to combine.
- Pour the mixture into a 9 x 9 inch pan, greased then line with parchment and press down into the pan until completely even.
- Bake for 25 minutes.
- Let the bars completely cool before cutting with a serrated knife into bars.
- Serve.
Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
- Use Ripe Fruit: The riper the fruit, the sweeter and more flavorful your bars will be. If you don't have ripe fruit on hand, you can always roast it in the oven to bring out its natural sweetness.
- Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter will make your bars tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the Bars Until They Are Set: The bars are done baking when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Don't overbake them, or they will become dry and crumbly.
- Let the Bars Cool Completely Before Cutting Them: This will help prevent them from falling apart.

With a variety of fruits, seeds, and nuts to choose from, you can create a bar that is perfect for your taste. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy snack, give fruit and seed bars a try.
