Instructions

Preheat oven to 300° convection.
Line a cookie sheet (I love using Pampered Chef https://a.co/d/37IgggR) with parchment paper.
To a mixing bowl, add all dry ingredients.
To a small pot, add miso and maple syrup. Heat over low heat, either whisking or using a rubber spatula to combine miso into maple syrup.
Pour wet over dry. Mix thoroughly. Spread into an even layer onto the parchment lined baking sheet. Use the rubber spatula to press down the mixture firmly.
Bake for 20 minutes, turn the pan 180b degrees and bake for the final 10.
WAIT FOR THE BARK TO COOL COMPLETELY and then break up into pieces.
Store in an air-tight container at room temperature.

Notes

I am buying all my nuts and seeds from a company called YUPIK on Amazon. You can buy in BULK which I love!

For the NUT FREE version, omit the pistachios and add 1/4 cup more black sesame seeds and 1/4 cup more pumpkin seeds. This version is so so so good as well!!!
