Chewy Granola Bar

Ingredients:
1/2 cup rolled oat
1 1/2 cup mix nuts and seed of your choice (pumpkin seed, sunflower seeds, walnut, almond, flaxseed)
1/2 cup mix dried fruits (goji berries or Kei-chi, prune, raisin, apricot etc)
2 tbsp cane sugar
4 tbsp honey
2 tbsp olive oil
pinch of sea salt (optional)
1/4 tsp cinnamon (optional)
1/4 tsp nutmeg (optional)

methods:
  1. lightly toast the nuts and seed (optional), so not to damage the good oil in the seed/nuts.
  2. mix the oil, sugar, honey, salt and spice well in a bowl
  3. mix all ingredient together, make sure to coat the nuts and seed well in the oil mixture
  4. line the tray with baking sheet, pressed the mixture into baking tray tightly so that it will not fall apart when cutting.
  5. bake at 170c for 10 min (do not burn it)
  6. let cool before cutting into cube or bars (note: give the block of granola a hard press before it is completely cool, this will help the nuts stay together and less likely to fall apart when cutting)
  7. cut and put into freezer for 30min to harden the bars, store in fridge.
