Ingredients
-
4.5 oz dried figs, chopped
⅓ cup water
1 banana, mashed
1 tbsp vanilla extract
3 tbsp sunflower seed butter
4 ½ cups prepared granola (homemade or storebought - I used Pumpkin Flax Plus® Granola), large clumps crushed
¼ cup Qi'a™ Superfood or hemp seeds
1 tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp salt
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350F and line a 9x13” baking pan with greased foil.
Combine figs and water in a saucepan and cook, stirring occasionally, until very soft.
Remove from the heat, add the banana and puree with an immersion blender until smooth (or transfer to a food processor and puree).
Puree in the vanilla and sunflower seed butter, then add the granola, hemp seeds, cinnamon and salt, stirring to combine well. If using a food processor, transfer the fig-sunflower seed butter puree to a bowl before adding other ingredients.
Press into the baking pan firmly, smoothing until even. I used a second pan placed on top to help with even, firm pressing
Bake for 23-27 minutes, until firm and lightly golden along the edge.
Remove from the oven and immediately press down firmly again to compact.
Slice into squares once they are cool.
Serving Size: Makes one 9x13" pan, about 32 bites
