But these new No-Bake Raw Energy Bars could be my favorite bars yet, because:
They're super, duper easy.
They're delicious and sweet.
They're good for you!
The boys absolutely love them...
and I love that they're eating chia, flax, whole grains and good plant-based protein and happy about it!
Did I mention that they're super, duper easy?
These bars don't last long in our family, but we love having them on hand for a great power-up snack before soccer practice, a long run or Tae Kwon Do.
Homemade No-Bake Raw Energy Bars (Gluten-Free, Vegan)
1 cup gluten-free whole or quick oats (traditional is fine if you don't need GF)
1/2 cup ground flax seed
1/2 cup dried unsweetened coconut (or you can use extra oats)
2 tablespoons chia seeds (or you can use extra flax)
1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (they work well to hide the chia seeds)
1 tablespoon cocoa powder
1/2 cup natural nut butter (peanut, almond, cashew, sunflower all work well)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup honey, maple syrup or agave nectar
Using a food processor (or you can mix in a bowl, but the food processor makes very quick work of this recipe), process the oats, flax, coconut, chia seeds, chocolate chips and cocoa powder:
Add the nut butter, vanilla extra and honey (or maple syrup or agave) and process until fully combined:
Does the mixture appear too wet? Add a few tablespoons of oats or flax and reprocess. Too dry? Add a touch more nut butter or honey. Reprocess:
Press into a glass dish and place in the fridge to set, if desired (and if you can wait!):
Cut into bars:
Enjoy!:
Makes 12 bars.
Peas and love,

loved this recipe!
ReplyDeletePerfect. I have almost everything to make this happen today. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI would like to cut down on the amount of maple syrup to 1/4 cup. Would it be okay to add a little water if I do so if the mix appears too dry? If not water, any other suggestions that don't add to sweetness of bars?
ReplyDeleteA good recreation for all video poker fans who need to try totally different casino poker video games and pay tables. When you are dealt a successful hand, the machine will spotlight the hand on the pay table and make a 솔카지노 sound to warn you. Once these machines gained a foothold in Las Vegas casinos, there was no stopping them.
