Trail Mix Bars – Nutritious – Quick and Easy Quick Fix Trail Mix Snack Bars

2 cup raw almonds
½ cup dried tart cherries, cranberries, or blueberries
1 cup shelled pumpkin seeds
1 cup raw sunflower seeds
¾ cup raw sesame seeds
6 tablespoons flaxseed meal
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup honey
2 teaspoon vanilla extract
9 x 13 inch pan

Finely chop almonds and dried fruit in the food processor. Put into a large bowl. Then add pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, flaxseed and salt. Stir to combine. Next, heat the honey in a pan over a very low flame so honey begins to liquefy. When honey is thin enough to work with, pour the honey and vanilla over the nut mixture and stir until completely incorporated. Coat pan with light olive oil. Pour the mixture into the pan and spread evenly and flat. You may need to coat your hands with a little oil before you press the mixture into the pan because the mixture may stick to your hands. Bake until top turns slightly golden usually around 20 minutes. Cut into bars.
