Chewy and crunchy fruit and nut bars packed with mixed nuts, seeds, and a touch of honey for natural sweetness. Perfect for a healthy snack or on-the-go energy boost.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup whole nuts (cashews, walnuts, pecans, almonds, macadamia nuts)
  • 1 cup chopped nuts (cashews, walnuts, pecans, almonds, macadamia nuts)
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/4 cup sunflower seeds
  • 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds
  • 1/4 cup sesame seeds
  • 1 Tbsp flaxseeds
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray an 8-inch square baking pan with cooking spray and line with parchment paper.
  2. Place all ingredients into a large bowl and mix thoroughly until well combined.
  3. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking pan and firmly press it into an even layer using a spatula.
  4. Bake for 30–40 minutes until the mixture turns a deep golden-brown color.
  5. Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan for 2–3 hours.
  6. Transfer to a cutting board and cut into 12 bars.
  7. Wrap each bar individually in parchment paper and store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or freeze for longer storage.

Notes

  • You can substitute dried cranberries with raisins or chopped dried apricots.
  • Pressing the mixture firmly helps the bars hold together better.
  • For extra flavor, lightly toast the nuts before mixing.
  • Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
