Flaxseed and Nuts Bars

I give these bars to my friends, and they love them. These flaxseed and nuts bars are so easy and healthy for snacking. I cannot postpone writing this recipe in my blog any longer because all my friends want to learn how to make them. Here it is – the simplest way to create a healthy snack for yourself and a wonderful gift for friends.

Ingredients:
1 cup flaxseed meal
1/3 cups of each  nuts: almonds, walnuts, and pecans
1/3 cup sesame seeds
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup coconut oil
1 tbs margarine or butter

Directions;
Place nuts in a food processor and blend until fine (you might need to blend them individually).

In a baking pan, place flaxseed meal, sesame seeds, and ground nuts. Bake in a preheated oven set to 350° for 5 to 7 minutes. Be careful not to let the nuts burn.


Line an 8” x 8” baking pan with foil and grease the foil with 1 tbs of margarine or butter.

In a small saucepan over medium heat, add honey, sugar, and coconut oil. Simmer until the sugar dissolves and starts thickening.

Remove the flaxseed and nuts and place them in a mixing bowl. Pour the dissolved sugar mixture onto the baked flaxseed and nuts and mix well.

Pour this mixture into the prepared baking pan. Pack mixture down and bake in the oven for 10 minutes.



Remove and let cool before cutting them into squares and storing in a glass jar or Ziploc bag.
