    Ingredients

    Author: Eva Keller

    Dry Ingredients

    • 1 cup of hemp seeds
    • 1 cup of pumpkin seeds
    • 1 cup of shredded coconut
    • ½ cup of sesame seeds
    • ½ cup of sunflower seeds

    Wet Ingredients

    • 6 tablespoons of coconut oil
    • 4 tablespoons of cocoa powder
    • 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract

    Additional Ingredients

    • 6 tablespoons of oats
    • 2 tablespoons of poppy seeds

    Preparation

    Step 1: Mix the Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the hemp seeds, pumpkin seeds, shredded coconut, sesame seeds, and sunflower seeds. Stir until the mixture is evenly distributed.

    Step 2: Prepare the Wet Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, melt the coconut oil (if solid) and mix it with the cocoa powder and vanilla extract. Stir until you have a smooth, chocolatey mixture. If the mixture is too thick, you can add a small amount of water to reach a pourable consistency.

    Step 3: Combine and Add Extras

    Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly until everything is well coated. Add the oats and poppy seeds to the mixture, stirring until fully combined.

    Step 4: Set and Cut

    Transfer the mixture into a baking dish or pan, spreading it evenly. Place the dish in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to allow the bars to set. Once firm, remove from the fridge and cut into 12 bars.
