Pumpkinseed, Date, and Tahini Bars

These homemade bars are perfect for packing lunches or for an after-school snack.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Combine the tahini, syrup, olive oil, vanilla, and salt in a microwave-safe bowl. Reheat in the microwave on high power for 1 minute or until bubbles form. Combine the cereal, oatmeal, dates, and pumpkin seed kernels in a medium bowl. Pour the tahini mixture over the barley mixture; mix well to coat. Place in an 11-inch x 7-inch baking dish greased with cooking spray. Sprinkle with quinoa, pressing to adhere. Bake at 350 ° C for 10 minutes or until cooked through. Cool completely in a bowl.
