Tips:
- Prep your ingredients in advance: This will save you time and make the assembly process much easier.
- Use a food processor to quickly and easily chop nuts, seeds, and dried fruit.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can chop the ingredients by hand, but it will take a little longer.
- Be sure to measure your ingredients accurately. This will ensure that the bars turn out perfectly.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the bars tough.
- Bake the bars until they are golden brown. This will ensure that they are cooked through.
- Let the bars cool completely before cutting them. This will help to prevent them from crumbling.
- Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
