Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup creamy peanut butter (no sugar added, or sunflower butter for nut free)
1/2 cup honey (or agave syrup* for vegan)
4 cups Old Fashioned rolled oats
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Steps:

  • Freeze the bars for 15 minutes. Remove the pan from the freezer and use the parchment to lift it out of the pan. Cut into 16 squares or 32 rectangles. Store refrigerated for up to 2 weeks. You can eat right away, or refrigerate for about 1 hour for a more solid texture.

Time 30m

Yield 32 bars, 32 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 cups sunflower seeds (hulled)
1 cup almonds or 1 cup pine nuts
2 cups pitted dates
2 cups raisins or 2 cups other dried fruit
1 cup honey
1 cup apple juice
1 tablespoon vanilla
2 teaspoons cinnamon
2 cups coconut flakes (optional)

Steps:

  • Place the sunflower seeds and walnuts in a food processor and grind until homogeneous; set aside.
  • Chop the dates into pieces your blender can handle.
  • In a blender place honey, apple juice, cinnamon, vanilla and chopped dates. Blend until a smooth texture is reached.
  • In a large mixing bowl combine raisins, and nut mix. Then stir in the date mixture (you may have to use your hands).
  • When the dough is completely mixed, you can either roll in balls and freeze for later (tastes like cookie dough), or you can shape dough into 2 inch balls, roll in coconut and place on dehydrator sheets. Dry in dehydrator for for 8-10 hours at 125 -130°F.
  • Another option is to take two 9 x 13-inch glass baking pan and sprinkle 1/2 cup coconut in each pan. Press 1/2 of the dough in each pan, top with remaining coconut and bake in a oven for 2 hours at 150- 200°F.

Tips:

  • To make the perfect Sun Bars, use high-quality ingredients. Look for fresh butter, eggs, and chocolate chips. You can also use a variety of nuts, dried fruits, and spices to customize the flavor of your bars.
  • Be sure to cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the batter, making the bars lighter and more tender.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the bars tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the bars until they are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking will make the bars dry and crumbly.
  • Let the bars cool completely before cutting them into bars. This will help to prevent them from falling apart.

Conclusion:

Sun Bars are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are a great way to use up leftover ingredients, and they can be customized to suit your own taste. Whether you like them chewy, crunchy, or somewhere in between, Sun Bars are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
