For a richer flavor, consider toasting the walnuts and sunflower seeds lightly before adding them to the mixture. Feel free to substitute other dried fruits or nuts based on your preference or what you have on hand. Chopped almonds, pecans, dried cranberries, or cherries would all be excellent additions. If you prefer a chewier bar, reduce the baking time by a few minutes. For a vegan option, replace the eggs with flax eggs (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons water per egg) and ensure your milk powder is plant-based.
