Ingredients

1/2 cup old fashioned rolled oats
1/3 cup sunflower seeds
5 medjool dates
1/2 cup pumpkin puree
3 Tbsp maple syrup
2 Tbsp ground chia seeds
1/2 tsp pumpkin spice
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup old fasioned rolled oats
1/3 cup pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds if preferred

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 F (180 C).
Add first 5 ingredients into food processor and process until a creamy paste forms. (A blender might work but will most likely require a lot of scraping down the sides, while the blender is OFF, of course).
Once the creamy paste has formed slowly add ground chia seeds, pumpkin spice and cinnamon while processor is running.
Now fold in 1/2 cup of rolled oats and pumpkin or sunflower seeds, according to your choice, by hand, to keep them whole.
Spoon into a silicone mold or small silicone muffin forms and compact with the spoon.
Bake for about 22 minutes.
Take out of the oven and let cool completely before taking out of mold.
