Health and fertility benefits of Raisin & Sunflower Seed Granola Bars

Researchers believe that cranberries contain substances that prevent infection-causing bacteria from sticking to the urinary tract walls. However, store-bought cranberry juice is typically all sugar - so make sure to stick with straight cranberries. One tbsp of honey has a glycemic index (GI) of 55. Chia seeds are made up of 60% Omega-3 fatty acids and are the highest source of protein out of any type of seed.

Ingredients

1/3 cup honey
1/2 cup toffee bits
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup sunflower seed kernels
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups oats
1/4 tsp almond extract
2 oz chia seeds
1 cup raisins
5 tbsps salted butter
1/4 cup packed brown sugar

Instructions

1. Toast oats in oven for about 10 minutes until light brown.

2. Add oats to a bowl with toffee bits, sunflower seeds, raisins, cranberries, and chia seeds.

3. Melt butter in pot with sugar and honey, stir well until sugar is fully dissolved, add vanilla and almond extract and stir well.

4. Pour wet mixture into dry mixture and mix together very well.

5. Press mixture into parchment paper lined pan or silicone pan. Press down very well and put in refrigerator for 2 hours, remove and cut in desired shape.
