Pumpkin Seed Butter Energy Bars
Keep these bars in your freezer for the times you are feeling very hungry and in need of a nutrient-dense snack immediately. We use Omega Nutrition pumpkin seed butter. Look for it at your local health food store or order it online.
Line a 9 x 5-inch glass bread pan with parchment paper.
Place the dates, shredded coconut, currants, cinnamon, and vanilla powder into a food processor fitted with the “s” blade. Process the mixture for about 30 seconds, and then add the remaining ingredients. Process again until combined.
Pour mixture into the prepared bread pan. Place into your freezer for about 1 hour to set. Then cut into bars with a very sharp knife. Serve. Keep bars in the freezer until ready to serve—they will become soft at room temperature.
Yield: About 10 servings
