Sun Bars Recipes

SUN BARS

Steps:

• Toast seeds in a small non-stick skillet over medium high heat, stirring occasionally, until they're tan in color and fragrant. Some dark spots are fine.
• Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the honey.
• Return the skillet to the stove and stir constantly. Cook until honey thickens and begins to caramelize, about 3-4 minutes.
• Remove from heat and press to desired thickness, either in a cooking pan* or silicone mold. Sprinkle the salt evenly over the top.
• Allow to cool completely.

SUN BARS

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.
• If you use an oven, you need to keep an eye on the bars during the last 30 minutes so they don't burn.
