["Preheat the oven to 325*F. Lightly grease a 8"" square baking pan.", "In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, sunflower seeds, flaxseeds, pistachios, raisins, and coconut in a large bowl. Set aside.", "In a saucepan, combine maple syrup, peanut butter, butter, and sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar is desolved and the mixture is smooth.

Place a piece of plastic wrap on top and top with another pan or a book that will fit inside the baking pan to weigh it down.

Cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate until firm. Use a sharp knife to cut into 12 bars and store them in the refrigerator for up to two weeks."]
