Recipe – Almond Energy Nut Bars

Since we have a long drive ahead of us to get to the cabin this weekend, I wanted to make these nut bars so we have healthy and filling snacks while in the car or during our long days at the lake.

These are hearty bars that are filling and tasty.

I made them this morning but didn’t have time to wait until they are completely cool before I had to cut them. I was pressed for time. So they are not as pretty as other bars, but they are delicious and that’s what counts right?

Almond Energy Nut Bars

• 1 cup blanched almond flour
• 3/4 cup toasted oats
• 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 cup coconut oil
• 1/4 or 1/3  cup agave
• 1/4 cup liquid egg whites
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup trail mix (chopped into small pieces or pulsed in food processor)
• 1/4 cup sunflower seeds
• 1/4 cup raisins
• 1/2 cup shredded coconut

Into the 1st bowl, combine almond flour, oats sea salt and baking soda. In a 2nd larger bowl, mix together coconut oil (make sure it’s liquid form), agave, liquid egg whites and vanilla.

Stir in dry ingredients from 1st bowl into wet ingredients in the 2nd bowl.

I used Trader Joe’s Trek Mix. I love this mix.

Hearty and thick.

Wait for it to cool before you cut them into bars or you will get rough edges and not have clean cut bars. Just like these 😦
