I'm cooking this todayRecipe's preparation
- Pre heat oven to 160degrees.
Add pumpkin seeds and sesame seeds to a dry pan on medium heat. Cook for approximately 5 minutes until you hear the sesame seeds pop a little. (This step is crucial to getting the seeds dry and crunchy!) - While the seeds are slowly dry roasting, add the maple syrup or rice malt syrup and salt (optional) to the mixing bowl. Mix Speed 2/100degrees/3 minutes/MC off or until it begins to bubble.
- Add the seeds to the mixing bowl and stir on reverse speed/ speed 2 for 5-10 seconds. Ensure the seeds are all coated.
- Pour mix in to a lined slice tin and pat down well to ensure all seeds are firmly packed in. TIP: I used another sheet of baking paper on top to press them down firmly. This avoids stucky fingers and sticky seeds stuck to your hands or spatula etc. It also packs them in well.
Cook for approximately 15 minutes. Once finished, press down with your hands once more with the extra sheet of baking paper and then allow to cool completely before cutting.

Tip
You can add any other ingredients you like to this mix. I like to add puffed borwn rice or chia seeds. The list of extra ingredients is endless, but th more you add to the mix, the more binding ingredients you may also need too (eg rice malt syrup etc)! Enjoy!

Pansy: can you share the recipe for your xylitol syrup, the one that I made doesn't stick well. I would really love to make a sugar free version
Great recipe, thank you for sharing. I use the same qualities whilst varying the seeds and nuts
What a fantastic recipe! I made my own syrup with xylitol (info from the net) I agree with previous comments, better than store bought. Thanks for the recipe.
I prefer these over the store bought ones, and at a fraction of the cost.
I added some slivered almonds and some dried goji's. But they would also be nice with cranberries, hemp seeds or sunflower seeds. Yummo.
These are delicious! I like mine better then the store ones! Thank you, you may have saved my dollars but definately not my waist line ! Hehehe!
Thanks for sharing! Simple and flexible recipe.
Great, quick and easy recipe. So many possible variations. Will be making this a lot!
Very quick and easy recipe. I used a mixture of sesame seeds, flax seeds, pepitas, almonds and sunflower seeds as that’s what I had on hand. I also used rice malt syrup. The pieces I’ve picked at are delicious. Thanks for the recipe.
Nice recipe I swapped out the seeds and used nuts and cranberries. Thanks for sharing.
Very nice recipe, i added nuts but will definately be making on a regular basis, thanks for sharing on recipe community.
