No Bake Energy Bars

No Bake Energy Bars with Oat, Peanut Butter, Carrot, Dates and Flax Seed.

These pocket-size no bake energy bars are so delicious, filling, unbelievably easy to make and only a few ingredients needed. Perfect for snack, workout food, and even for breakfast!

It’s a remake of my Energy Bars, but now it has better texture, more delicious and with a strong food processor, you can process and combine the ingredients all at once, which means way less mess!

I love to make my own chewy, healthy, divine energy bars, it’s a much better choice than buy one in the store! I know exactly what I put in them, I know there is no preservative, no additional food coloring, nor sugar!

Perfect grab-and-go for the busy days – which happen often these days -, you can make them ahead and store them in the fridge! Since it’s easy to reach (store in fridge, packet size), there is no more excuse to have a quick breakfast, and there is no need for junky snacks!

Author Anna @ Anna Can Do It!

Ingredients

• 2 tbsp Flax seed
• 1 cup Peanut Butter
• 1 cup Dates pitted, chopped
• 1/2 cup Hot Water
• 1 tbsp Coconut Oil
• 1 tbsp Honey
• 1/4 cup grated Carrot
• 2 tbsp Raisins * Optional
• 3 cup Oat
• 1/2 Lemon's Zest

Instructions

• Pour hot water on the chopped dates.
• Add the coconut oil, the lemon zest and the honey to the dates, mix them well.
• Grind the flax seed with a spice grinder.
• Put the flax seed flour, the peanut butter and the grated carrot (plus the optional raisins) to the food processor.
• Add the oat and the dates with the water to the food processor too.
• Let them combine completely, it'll take a minute or two.
• Line a pan with plastic wrap. It'll make easier the bars to remove
• Pour the mixture to the pan, level it, so the energy bars will be even thickness everywhere.
• Put it in the fridge for at least minutes before serving it!

So, why would you buy energy bars, when you can make 20 in 15 minutes? Anyway, it was a lifesaver for me last week, we had a really busy week, so I hardly had any time to sit down and eat a normal breakfast. It was super delicious, I just grabbed one from the fridge or my bag and I was ready to go, and since it was so filling, I wasn’t hungry ’til lunch!

For customization I recommend a pinch of cinnamon, some chocolate chip, chopped nuts (if you’re not allergic to them), chopped cranberries or a drizzle of chocolate on the top.

Really worth to try it, so simple and delicious! Kids will love it too!
