If you're looking for a healthy, homemade snack that's packed with nutrition, these delicious date, almond, coconut, raisin, and cashew energy bars are perfect for you. Made with natural ingredients and no added sugars, these energy bars provide a great balance of proteins, healthy fats, and carbohydrates to keep you energized throughout the day.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- If your dates are not soft and sticky, soak them in warm water for about 10 minutes to soften. Once softened, drain the water thoroughly.
- In a food processor, add the almonds and cashews. Pulse them a few times until they are roughly chopped. Be careful not to over-process; you still want small pieces for texture.
- Add the pitted dates and raisins to the food processor. Pulse until the mixture starts to come together in a sticky mass. You might need to stop and scrape down the sides of the bowl a few times to ensure everything mixes evenly.
- Add the coconut flakes to the mixture in the food processor. Pulse just a few times to incorporate the flakes evenly into the mixture. The mixture should be well combined and sticky but not overly processed.
- Line a small baking dish (approximately 8x8 inches) or a rectangular pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal.
- Transfer the processed mixture into the lined pan. Press it down firmly and evenly using a spatula or your hands. You want to create a compact and even layer.
- Place the pan in the refrigerator and allow the mixture to chill for at least 1-2 hours. This helps the bars set properly and makes them easier to cut.
- Once chilled and firm, remove the pan from the refrigerator. Lift the set mixture out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang.
- Place it on a cutting board and use a sharp knife to cut it into bars or squares according to your desired size.
- Store the energy bars in an airtight container. They can be kept at room temperature for up to a week or refrigerated for longer freshness. You can also freeze them for up to a month.
Tips:
- Ensure your dates are fresh and soft; if they are too dry, soak them in warm water for about 10 minutes to soften.
- Use unsweetened coconut flakes to keep the sugar content low and the flavor pure.
- Feel free to toast the almonds and cashews lightly before using them for added depth of flavor.
- You can adjust the ratio of nuts and dried fruits to suit your taste preferences or dietary needs.
- Line your baking dish or tray with parchment paper to make it easier to remove the bars once they are set.
Making your own energy bars at home not only ensures you're consuming wholesome ingredients but also allows you to customize flavors and textures to your liking. These date, almond, coconut, raisin, and cashew energy bars are simple to prepare and make for a perfect on-the-go snack. Enjoy the delicious blend of natural sweetness and crunchy texture while staying energized and satisfied.
