Description

These Nut and Seed Energy Bars are a delicious and healthy snack, packed with a variety of nuts and seeds, perfect for a quick energy boost.


Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup almonds, roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin seeds
  • 1/2 cup sunflower seeds
  • 1/4 cup sesame seeds
  • 1/4 cup chia seeds
  • 1/4 cup flaxseeds
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons almond butter (or any nut butter)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • A pinch of salt

Instructions

Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

 

Mix Dry Ingredients:

In a large bowl, combine the chopped almonds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, chia seeds, and flaxseeds.

 

Prepare the Wet Mixture:

In a small saucepan, warm the honey and almond butter over low heat until smooth and well combined. Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.

 

Combine Mixtures:

Pour the warm honey mixture over the nut and seed mixture. Stir until all the nuts and seeds are thoroughly coated.

 

Form Bars:

Scoop about 1/4 cup of the mixture and shape it into a round or flat bar. Place it onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining mixture, spacing the bars evenly on the sheet.

 

Bake:

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.

 

Cool and Set:

Remove from the oven and let the bars cool completely on the baking sheet. They will firm up as they cool.

 

Serve and Store:

  • Once cooled, store the bars in an airtight container. Enjoy them as a quick and nutritious snack!

Notes

Ensure nuts and seeds are fresh for best flavor.

Bars need to cool completely to firm up.

Store in an airtight container for up to a week.
