No Bake Almond Butter Energy Bars

MY NO BAKE ALMOND BUTTER ENERGY BARS ARE PACKED WITH WHOLESOME INGREDIENTS. ALMOND BUTTER, HONEY, CHIA SEEDS, OATS, COCONUT, FLAX, AND COCONUT OIL.

This quick-to-make snack is popular with our family and satisfies for many hours. I came up with this recipe because my nine-year-old daughter was asking to bake something one day this past winter. So I looked online for something easy for her to make.

I needed to be something we could make with ingredients on hand and something easy she could make on her own. She loves to make no-bake cookies so I looked for something similar.

And after looking at dozens of recipes I decided to pull the best ideas from several and this is the recipe I came up with. These easy no-bake almond butter energy bars were a hit. Our family loves almond flavored baked goods.

We like to make this recipe (and several more I’ve put together since then) for afternoon snacks when we need some energy. They also work great for ski days and on the go adventures. And with so many great whole ingredients you just can’t go wrong with this recipe.

Packed with a powerhouse of ingredients, this energy bar will keep you going for quite a while. And by making this recipe with your own quality ingredients you can skip the bad stuff in commercial energy bars, and also skip the high-cost of buying ‘healthy’ energy bars.

I had all the ingredients in this recipe on hand. And they all came from my favorite all natural and organic bulk foods company, Azure Standard. They have a wide selection of all-natural and organic products. I get almost all my dry ingredients from them. I give a lot more information Azure in my post and video about 6 Steps to Healthy Food on a Budget.

We are normally a chocolate family, but I recently had the chance to try the Uncommon Naturally Sweetened Carob Chips. It came in a box of samples from Azure Standard. Since one of our sons is dairy free and cannot eat regular chocolate I thought this would be a good way to try an alternative for him.

Our family was pleasantly surprised with how great it tasted. Definitely not the carob I remember from my youth! They also sent
Cool Mint Carob Chips and Pure Unsweetened Carob Chips. We haven’t tried those yet, but are thinking up recipes to do so.

So here is the list of goodies included in the energy bar.

• all natural almond butter
• melted coconut oil
• cinnamon
• raw honey
• toasted almonds
• naturally sweetened carob chips
• shredded coconut
• almond extract
• chia seeds
