Ingredients
- ½ cup well-stirred tahini
- 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons refined coconut oil
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- ⅓ cup hemp seeds
- ¼ cup finely chopped dried apricots
- ¼ cup finely chopped dried figs
- ¼ cup pepitas
- ¼ teaspoon ground cardamom
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Directions
Line an 8½-by-4½ inch loaf pan with plastic wrap. Press the oat mixture firmly into the prepared pan, creating a compact, even layer. Freeze, uncovered, for 30 minutes. Using the plastic wrap as handles, remove the oat mixture from the pan. Transfer to a cutting board; remove and discard the plastic wrap. Slice into 8 (4½-by-1-inch) bars.
Note: You can substitute nut butters for the tahini.
