Almond Bars

Making your own almond energy bars at home is incredibly simple and takes just 15 minutes of prep time! These delicious bars are perfect for a quick snack or a boost of energy. If you prefer, you can easily substitute almond butter with peanut butter for a different flavour.

Preparation time: 15 minutes
Time in the freezer: 1 hour

Ingredients
For 6 bars

  • 100 g almond butter or peanut butter

  • 45 g maple syrup

  • 1 tbsp coconut oil

  • 45 g rolled oats

  • 75 g almonds

  • 1 tsp almond extract

  • pinch of salt

Method

  1. Melt 100 g of almond butter and 1 tbsp of coconut oil in a small saucepan over low heat.

  2. Remove the saucepan from the heat, stir in 45 g of maple syrup, 1 tsp of almond extract and a pinch of salt until well combined.

  3. Roughly chop 75 g of almonds.

  4. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the almond butter mixture with 45 g rolled oats and the chopped almonds until evenly combined.

  5. Line a small baking dish (15cm x 20cm) with baking paper. Transfer the mixture to the baking dish and use a spatula to press down very firmly.

  6. Place the baking dish in the freezer for about an hour.

  7. Remove the bars from the baking dish, let them rest at room temperature for about 15 minutes. Use a sharp knife to cut them into six evenly sized-bars.

  8. Store the bars in an airtight container either in the refrigerator or in a cool, dark place.
