  • 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup for vegan option
  • 1/2 cup nut butter almond, peanut, or tahini
  • 1/4 cup dried fruit chopped apricots or cranberries, optional
  • 1 tablespoon coconut flakes optional, for added flavor and texture

  • Small bowl
  • Spatula or wooden spoon

  • Parchment paper
  • Baking tray or plate
  • Refrigerator

Method
 

  1. Gather all your ingredients: toasted sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, chia seeds, honey, nut butter, dried fruit, and coconut flakes.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, and chia seeds. Mix them together until evenly distributed.
  3. In a small bowl, stir together the honey and nut butter until smooth and slightly runny—warm gently if needed to melt and blend.
  4. Pour the honey and nut butter mixture over the seed mixture. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to fold everything together until the seeds are thoroughly coated and sticky.
  5. If the mixture feels too crumbly, add a tiny splash of honey or water and stir again to help it come together. If it’s too sticky, sprinkle in a few more seeds and fold in.
  6. Take small portions and roll them between your palms to form about 1-inch diameter bites. Place each ball on a parchment-lined tray or plate.
  7. If you like, roll some bites in shredded coconut or add chopped dried fruit on top for extra flavor and visual appeal.
  8. Refrigerate the bites for at least 30 minutes to firm up and set their shape.
  9. Once chilled and firm, check the bites—they should hold their shape and be chewy with a slight crunch from the seeds.
  10. Store the bites in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week, or freeze for longer storage. Serve chilled or at room temperature for a satisfying, healthy snack.
