As I was searching for some vegan treats at Vitamin Cottage I came across a yummy seed and nut brittle bar. There were pumpkin, sunflower, chia, flax, and sesame seeds with almonds and pecans all stuck together with all-natural maple syrup. Honestly it was delicious!! The only drawback was how expensive it was. You only got a few small pieces for 8 dollars. Yeah... I don't care how good something is, I'm not going to spend 8 bucks to get 4 pieces of what is basically bird seed. So I made my own recipe that was expensive to get all the ingredients for, not going to lie, but it pays for how much I have used the seeds and how many times I get to make the brittle, so here is how I made my own seed and nut brittle!
What you need:
Chia, flax, and sesame seeds, almonds, quinoa, blue agave nectar, a large mixing bowl, and an 8x8 inch pan lined with tin foil and sprayed with olive oil.
I used 1/2 cup for all the seeds and a full cup of almonds. Then I just eyeballed the agave nectar.
After everything is mixed together, and if you want add more seeds and nuts of your choice I just could afford to get more. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. After you have filled your pan and leveled it all out, place the brittle in the oven until the edges and top are a little toasted.
When it is all toasted and done let it cool and slice it into bars. then enjoy! Just so you know it will be sticky!
Let me know if you try it and whether you liked it or not.
I hope everyone has a good week!
