Raw Dessert Treats

What You Need:
2 tablespoons flaxseeds
2 tablespoons filtered water
2 tablespoons raw hemp seeds
2 tablespoons raw pumpkin seeds
2 tablespoons raw sunflower seeds
1⁄2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1⁄4 cup dried cherries
1⁄4 cup raw walnuts
2 dried figs

What You Do:
1. In a food processor, process flaxseeds for 30 seconds or until finely ground. Transfer to a small bowl. Add the water and set aside for 10 minutes. Place the hemp seeds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, and cinnamon in the food processor and process for 30 seconds or until finely ground. Transfer 3 tablespoons of this mixture to a small plate and set aside.

2. In the food processor, add the flaxseed mixture and the cherries, nuts, and figs and process for 1 to 2 minutes or until the mixture comes together to form a ball. Dampen your hands with water and form the mixture into 3-inch bars. Roll the bars in the reserved seed mixture until the bars are evenly coated on all sides. Serve immediately.
