* 1 cup of milk powder

* Half a cup of raisins which are roughly chopped

* 1 tsp of cinnamon

* 1/4 cup of flax seeds

* 1/4 cup of hemp seeds

* 1/2 cup of dates which are finely chopped

* 3/4 cup of honey

Directions to follow

1) First you are required to combine the cashews, raisins, cranberries, almonds, oats, cinnamon, milk powder, hemp seeds and flax seeds in a big bowl.

2) Mix the dates that are finely chopped with honey

3) You can then heat the dates as well as the honey in a small bowl until this mixture is able to reach a consistency that is watery. This only makes the process of mixing a lot easier.

4) Then add the honey and date mixture to the other ingredients mixing well

5) Pour out this mixture into a non-sticky dish. Then you spread this out as you desire depending on how thick you want.

6) Cut it out into the sizes that you require, since it could be hard to cut out once baking is done

7) Bake this mixture then at 270 Fahrenheit for about 25 minutes or even longer in case you prefer crunchier bars.

If you are thinking of customizing this said recipe it is important for you to learn the correct amount of mixture and the required consistency for the purpose of baking. You can then tilt this mixing bowl a little and stir. The mixture is considered correct is it holds a good shape into the bowl and does not fall off from the bowl

If this mixture is found too sticky, then you can add more ingredients to it in order to make it dry such as nuts or oats. Alternatively, if the recipe is too dry then you could add sticky ingredients such as honey. Either ways it is considered healthy
