The ingredients for Nut Free 'Lara" Bars are:

1/2 cup raw sunflower seeds
1/2 cup raw pepitas (pumpkin seeds)
1/4 cup sesame seeds
2 TBS coconut, toasted
1 1/4 cup pitted dates
1 TBS olive oil
1/2 tsp sea salt (or to taste)
2 TBS water

Here is how you make Nut Free 'Lara" Bars:

You can use whatever combination of seeds that you prefer or have on hand. Mix together the seeds and the olive oil. Toss well to coat and place on a cookie sheet or tray and toast in a 350 degree oven until lightly toasted (about 5-8 minutes). Watch carefully as they can burn quickly. Remove from oven and set aside to cool. When cool toss in the toasted coconut. I toasted the coconut separately. Just sprinkle the dry coconut on a sheet (don't toss in oil) and toast until golden in same 350 degree oven.Place dates and cooled seeds and toasted coconut in the bowl of a food processor. Add the tablespoon of water and 1/2 tsp sea salt and process until smooth. You may need to add more water depending on the mixture. It should be too sticky but it will be moist.Dump mixture out on a piece of parchment paper. Flatten mixture into a square approximately 8" x 8" and about 1/4 in thick. Cut into 9 squares or whatever shape you prefer. I wrapped mine in parchment paper and placed in a sealed container. These will keep well in the fridge or freezer.
