INGREDIENTS

• • 1 cup oats
• • 1 cup seeds (flax seeds, quinoa seeds, sunflower seeds, chia seeds, sesame seeds)
• • 1 cup nuts (walnuts, pecans, hazelnuts, almonds)
• • 2 bananas
• • 2 Tbsp almond butter or peanut butter or coconut oil
• • 2 Tbsp ground flax seeds
• • 1 tsp vanilla
• • 2 ½ tsp Aiya Culinary Grade Matcha
• • ⅔ cup cranberries

DIRECTIONS

• Prepare
• 1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
• 2. In a parchment lined baking sheet, place the oats, seeds, and nuts. Toast them for 8-inch mins. Leave the oven on.
• 3. Remove the tray from the oven and place the oat mixture in a large bowl and add the cranberries into that bowl too.
• 4. In the meantime, in a food processor, place the bananas, almond butter, vanilla, flax powder and green tea powder until smooth.
• 5. Add the Matcha mixture into the oat mixture and toss it very well.
• Energy Balls
• 1. If making no-bake energy balls, use this mixture as it is, take golf size pieces and roll them between your hands into balls. Refrigerate the energy balls for at least 1 hour to firm up.
• Granola Bars
• 1. If you’re making the energy bars, take the oat mixture and press it into a parchment lined 8 inch baking pan. Press the oat mixture well with your hands to make sure it’s intact. Bake the pan for 25-35 minutes until the mixture is golden on top and crispy on the edges.
• 2. Remove the pan from the oven and let the mixture cool down before slicing. Slice into bars, squares, triangles or any shape you like. Enjoy.
• 3. Store the bars wrapped in a cling film and then in a sealed container for at least 2 weeks, and up to a month in the refrigerator.
