• Hemp Heart Bars

    Ingredients:

    • 1/4 cup natural syrup type sweetener – Honey, Agave, Brown Rice Syrup, Maple Syrup, Molasses, etc. (Feel free to combine some of these together to get the right flavour of sweetness you may desire – ie half honey and half rice syrup to cut the sweetness of the honey down)
    • 1 1/3 cups Hemp Hearts - Isagenix IsaCrunch
    • 4 cups of  Kashi, PC Organics or Raw quick oats  (can work for an oatmeal bar)
    • 1 cup small pieces of dried fruit  (organic cranberries, blueberries, chopped apricots, raisins, etc, )
    • A pinch of sea salt (optional)
    • 1/2 tsp cinnamon (optional)            Variations: try half fruit and half nuts. Experiment and have fun with it!

    Directions:

    1. Using an 8×8 pan, line with wax paper or coat with unprocessed coconut oil.
    2. Pour liquid sweetener into a medium sized sauce pan and bring to a rolling boil on medium heat and then reduce to the lowest heat. Allow to bubble lightly for 2-3 mins or until a soft ball candy stage is reached. Add your salt and your cinnamon at this point and stir.
    3. Quickly add all of the dried ingredients like the Hemp Hearts, cereal and dried fruit and stir until well coated using a metal or wooden spoon or silicon spatula may be used.
    4. Pour mixture in to 8×8 pan and allow to cool until it is cool enough for you to pack down the mixture with your hands. You’ll know the mixture is cool enough when the mixture won’t stick to your hands while compacting it.
    5. Put the pan in the fridge or the freezer to allow the bars to cool. About 20 mins.
    6. Pull the bars out and cut to desired serving size and enjoy!
