I’ve done my fair share of spreading the Barre3 love on this site (sorry!), but these bars are one of those things that are so engrossed in my daily routine, I forgot they are worth sharing. My favorite baker buds joined in to to make these yummy treats and spread the word… So prep your food processors because this recipe is about to be a staple in your home too!
Barre3 Energy “Barres”
- 6 dates, pitted
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1/4 cup sunflower or almond butter
- 1/4 cup goji berries (or raisins or dried fruit)
- 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1/4 cup ground flax seed
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- a heavy pinch of sea salt
- 1 cup almonds
- handful of cacao nibs or dark chocolate chips
- Other: chia seeds, hemp seeds, Maca powder, oats
- Pulse pitted dates, coconut oil and seed/nut butter in a food processor until blended.
- Add dried fruit, coconut, ground flax, cinnamon, and salt and blend until mixture is incorporated (may still be a bit chunky).
- Add almonds and chocolate and continue blending until mixture looks like cookie dough.
- Transfer “dough” to a baking pan (nothing larger than an 8×8 or the bars will be too thin) and use the bottom of a cup to press down mixture until evenly flattened.
- Store in the freezer for an hour or so until hardened.
- Cut bars into individual portions and wrap in plastic wrap.
- Continue storing in freezer for an easy on the go snack (they will fall apart otherwise)!
