Never heard of alkalising? It is a green super food powder supplement. Loaded with pre and probiotics to support gut health, packed with calcium, magnesium, and zinc all helping to support your body and maintain pH balance!

Are you ready to give these delicious Pumpkin Seed Granola Bars a try? Here is what you will need and the step by step instructions, making these bars super simple to make!

Equipment:

Baking Sheet
Parchment Paper
Brownie Pan

Ingredients:

1¼ cup Quick Oats
¾ cup Pumpkin Seeds
½ cup Puffed Rice Cereal
¼ cup Dried Cranberries
¼ tsp Salt
2 tsp Alkalising Blend (super-Food blend) , (optional, if not used the bars won’t be green)
½ tsp Ground Cinnamon
¼ cup Tahini
1 tbsp Coconut Oil
½ cup Sugar Free Syrup
1 tsp Vanilla

Instructions:

Pre-heat over to 325’°
Line a baking sheet with pachment paper or tin foil. Spread the oats and pumpkin seeds into an even layer and bake at 325’° for 10-15 minutes until the oats and the pumpkin seeds start to turn brown. Toss 1/2 way thru the cooking process.
In a large bowl combine dry ingredients: puffed rice cereal, dried cranberries, salt, ground cinnamon, and alkalising powder.
Add the toasted oats and almonds to the large bowl with the other dry ingredients.
In a small saucepan combine the tahini, coconut oil, syrup, and vanilla. Cook on medium low heat whisking together for 3-5 minutes, be sure not to over cook.
After warming the wet ingredients, pour them immediately into the large bowl with the dry ingredients. Mix everything together until well combined and all ingredients are wet.
Line a brownie pan with parchment paper, then pour the mix into the lined pan. Press the mix firmly into the pan, in one even layer, paying attention to the corners. You want everything as tightly packed as possible, to ensure when you cut your bars they dont crumble apart.
Place in the fridge for 2-3 hours to cool and set completely. Pop out of the tray by grabbing onto the sides of the overlapping parchment paper. Set onto a cutting board and cut into 8 bars.
Keep in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.

QUESTION:

Are you trying to get better at meal planning?
Sick of eating the same boring recipes all the time?

If you are bored of eating the same recipes every week and answered yes to these questions, then you are going to want to check out my notes below. Tips on how you can incorporate these alkalising green pumpkin seed granola bars into your meal plan and meal prep.

NOTES FOR MEAL PREPPING:

Once you have made these alkalising green pumpkin seed granola bars, you will want to store them in the fridge for up to two weeks.

I do not recommend freezing these bars, the will dry out a little too much.

NOTES FOR COUNTING MACROS:

Typically I give tips on how you can adjust my recipes to meet your macro requirements. However, when it comes to baking that can be a little more difficult. Additionally, the adjustments that could be made, do not effect the protein, carb, and fat macros enough to make a real impact. My recommendation would be to enjoy this recipe as is.

However, you could make adjustments to:

The type of seeds/nuts used: Pumpkins, cashew, peanuts, pine, almonds…anything your heart desires.
The kind of dried fruit can also be adjusted. You can choose to use any of your favorite dried fruit.

I hope that you choose to add these alkalising green pumpkin seed granola bars into your meal plan and meal prep this week!
