Healthy Hearty Granola Bites
From jo_jo_ba 10 years agoIngredients 
                    - 4 ½ oz dried figs, chopped shopping list
- ⅓ cup water shopping list
- 1 banana, mashed shopping list
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract shopping list
- 3 tbsp sunflower seed butter shopping list
- 4 ½ cups prepared granola (homemade or storebought - I used Pumpkin Flax Plus® Granola), large clumps crushed shopping list
- ¼ cup Qi'a™ Superfood or hemp seeds shopping list
- 1 tsp cinnamon shopping list
- ¼ tsp salt shopping list
How to make it 
                    - Preheat the oven to 350F and line a 9x13” baking pan with greased foil.
- Combine figs and water in a saucepan and cook, stirring occasionally, until very soft.
- Remove from the heat, add the banana and puree with an immersion blender until smooth (or transfer to a food processor and puree).
- Puree in the vanilla and sunflower seed butter, then add the granola, hemp seeds, cinnamon and salt, stirring to combine well. If using a food processor, transfer the fig-sunflower seed butter puree to a bowl before adding other ingredients.
- Press into the baking pan firmly, smoothing until even. I used a second pan placed on top to help with even, firm pressing
- Bake for 23-27 minutes, until firm and lightly golden along the edge.
- Remove from the oven and immediately press down firmly again to compact.
- Slice into squares once they are cool.
