  • Pumpkin seeds: 30 grams (1 oz)
  • Sunflower seeds: 30 grams (1 oz)
  • Almonds: 40 grams (1.4 oz)
  • Flaxseeds: 1 tablespoon
  • Honey: 2 tablespoons, plus extra for flavor

Instructions :

Step 1: Prepare Your Ingredients

Grind the Peanuts:

  • Begin by placing 100 grams of peanuts in a food processor. Grind them until they become a fine powder, resembling crumbs. This step is crucial for creating the base texture of your bars.

Toast the Oats:

  • In a skillet over medium heat, cook 200 grams of oat flakes until they turn a golden brown color. This toasting process brings out a nutty aroma and enhances the oats’ natural flavor. Set aside to cool.

Toast the Nuts and Seeds:

  • Using the same skillet, lightly toast 30 grams of pumpkin seeds, 30 grams of sunflower seeds, and 40 grams of almonds. The toasting process releases the natural oils and intensifies their flavor, adding a delightful crunch to the bars.

Combine Dry Ingredients:

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground peanuts, toasted oats, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, almonds, and 1 tablespoon of flaxseeds. Stir the mixture thoroughly to ensure all components are well-blended.

Step 2: Add Sweeteners and Binders
