I love using pumpkin spice in my baking. It’s blood-sugar balancing, soothing on the digestive system and a great natural sweetener. These bars are packed with good fats, antioxidants and protein to keep you glowing all morning! If you don’t have pumpkin spice you can use a combination of cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger.

Ingredients

  • 10 medjool dates, pitted and chopped
  • 1/2 cup sunflower seeds
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin seeds

  • 3 tbsp flaxseed
  • 2 tbsp sesame seeds
  • 2 tbsp sultanas or currants
  • 2-3 tsp pumpkin spice
  • 3 tbsp almond butter
  • 2 tsbp organic coconut oil
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup or honey (optional)

Turmeric drizzle:

  • 2 tbsp tahini, 1 tsp turmeric, 1 tsp maple syrup

 

Method

  1. Place all the ingredients in a food processor and pulse until well combined – the mixture should be firm but soft.
