Ingredients
- 1 cup seeds (sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, or mixture of both)
- 2 tsp. olive oil

- 1½ Tbsp. water
Directions
- Combine seeds with olive oil and salt and mix together thoroughly. Toast at 350ºF until slightly brown.
- Combine seeds, dates and water in a food processor and puree until mixture starts to stick together. Add a little more water if necessary to help mixture come together.
