Description
Tired of snacks that leave you hungry an hour later? These chewy, no-bake Apricot Almond Energy Bars are made with real ingredients you probably already have. No oven, no weird stuff, just 10 minutes and a food processor.
Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 cups soft dates (pits removed)
- 2 cups dried apricots
- 2 cups raw almonds
- 6 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup to keep it fully vegan)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons old-fashioned rolled oats
Instructions
- Grab a baking dish (or even a disposable tray) and line it with foil or parchment, whatever makes cleanup easy.
- Toss everything into a food processor.
- If yours isn’t super powerful, do it in batches so you don’t burn it out.
- Pulse the mixture until it’s chunky but blended.
- Don’t overdo it, you want a bit of texture, not a sticky paste.
- Scoop the mix into your lined tray and press it down firmly with your hands or the back of a spoon.
- Really pack it in so the bars hold together.
- You can eat them right away, but if you let them chill for a bit, they firm up better and slice cleanly.
- Store in the fridge for easy grab-and-go snacks.
