Easy Energy Bars Recipes

ENERGY BARS

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly oil a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Mix the eggs, banana, oats, sunflower seeds, cinnamon, milk powder, dates, raisins, walnuts, apricots, wheat germ, maple syrup, and whole-wheat pastry flour together in a large bowl until thoroughly combined; spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes; set aside to cool. Cut into 9 bars and wrap with plastic to store.

NO-BAKE PEANUT BUTTER ENERGY BARS

Steps:

• In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine peanut butter and honey. Heat, uncovered, until warmed, 20-30 seconds. Stir until smooth; add remaining ingredients and stir until combined. Transfer to a lightly greased 13x9-inch pan; gently press mixture into pan. Cover and refrigerate until set, 1 hour or overnight. Cut into bars.

NO-BAKE EASY ENERGY BARS

Steps:

• Combine the peanut butter and honey in a large nonstick pot and warm over low heat until runny and mixed.
• Mix in the oatmeal and protein powder.
• Do not bake, but heat enough to mix nicely.
• Press into a 9x9 inch pan and let cool (to make cutting them easier, you could stick the covered pan into the refrigerator for a few hours).
• Slice into 16 bars and package in sandwich baggies.

ENERGY BARS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 9 by 13-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
• Place all ingredients except the syrup and eggs in a food processor and pulse until the mixture is finely chopped. Add the syrup and eggs and pulse until the mixture is well combined. It will resemble a coarse paste.
• Transfer to the baking pan and spread evenly. Bake until just done, about 20 minutes. Cut into 20 squares.

6 HOMEMADE GRANOLA ENERGY BARS RECIPES

Steps:

• To make each Homemade Granola Bar Recipe:
• Combine dates, honey, nut butter or nuts, and coconut oil in food processor or high-powered blender (such as Vitamix or Blendtec). If you want to blend the oats into a flour-type consistency, add to food processor. If you want hearty oats (like a granola bar), stir in oats when you add mix-ins.
• Pulse mixture until smooth.
• Place mixture into a bowl and stir in remaining mix-in ingredients.
• Press into a small pan or baking dish (I use a quarter baking sheet) and place into freezer to chill for 15 minutes to allow the bars to set up.
• Remove from freezer and cut into bars.
• Store in pantry, refrigerator, or freezer.

PROTEIN BARS

Steps:

• Stir all ingredients except optional chips to form a dough. Either shape into bars with your hands or smooth into a lined 8x8 pan, refrigerate until chilled, then cut into bars. For the optional chocolate coating, spread the melted chocolate over the pan before chilling. (I usually stir 2 tsp oil into the melted chocolate for a smoother sauce, but it's not required.) Or you can dip the bars into the chocolate sauce individually and then chill to set. View Nutrition Facts
