Prepare . Prepare your baking pan with parchment paper that overhangs the sides of the baking pan. Also, preheat your oven to 350° F.
Gel. To make the gel binder, in a large bowl combine together the chia seeds and water and allow it to sit until a gel forms (about five minutes). Then stir in the maple syrup and allow the gel to sit for another five minutes.
Tahini Once the mixture has sat for five minutes stir the tahini and pumpkin pie spice.
Combine In another bowl, use a fork to combine together the oats, pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds. Use a rubber spatula or similar item to fold this mixture into the ingredients in the large bowl until sticky and well mixed.
Transfer. Transfer the combined ingredients to the prepared baking pan and use the backside of your spatula or a spoon to press the mixture in place.
Bake. Bake the granola bars until the center is set and the edges appear to be golden brown (about 30-35 minutes).
Cool. When your bars have fully cooled, use the overhanging parchment paper to lift the bars from the pan. Then cut the bars in half and the halves in half until you have eight bars.
