1.
Halve the dates, remove the pit and finely chop the flesh. Add almond flakes, sunflower seeds, grain flakes, amaranth and half of the dates to a bowl. Add cinnamon and salt and mix well. Heat 60 g butter with 30 g sugar and half the honey in a pot until the sugar dissolves. Combine the hot butter-sugar-honey mixture with the date-kernel mixture. Line a small baking sheet (about 20 x 20 cm) with parchment paper, pour the mixture onto it, press down and smooth.

Heat the remaining sugar in a small pot and melt. Add the butter and honey and mix well. Stir in the remaining chopped dates and immediately spread the mixture over the kernel-flake mixture on the baking sheet. Sprinkle with pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds and amaranth. Chill for about 1 hour. Remove from the sheet, peel off the parchment paper and cut into triangles with a knife whose blade is oiled.
