Healthy Snack Bars are a quick no bake sugar free snack alternative to give you some energy throughout the day. This recipe is inspired by the Lorna Jane Move Nourish Believe recipe which I have changed slightly.  These are a great snack to have at hand in the fridge when you are searching for something satisfying and a little bit sweet, especially after Easter where we all tend to over indulge with chocolate Easter eggs.

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp pumpkin seeds
  • 3 tbsp of peanut butter
  • 2 tbsp cacao powder
  • 16 medjool dates but I used 3/4 cup of pitted dates
  • 2 cups almond meal with chia – you can use plain almond meal
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 2 tbsp boiling water

Instead of pumpkin seeds you could use your choice of nuts.

Method

  • Blend all the ingredients to together until smooth.
  • Line a lamington tin with baking paper.
  • Smooth out mixture into the tin and let it rest in the fridge.
  • I actually made double this recipe so that I could have nice thick bars.
  • Cut into snack size bars

Store in the fridge in an air tight container.I wrapped mine individually for lunch box snacks and that way it makes them easy to grab when you are after a yummy snack.  I’d love to know if you give these a try.
