These Energy Bars are the most decadent yet healthy thing to emerge from my kitchen this week, and let me tell you they are worth every crunchy bite! They are the perfect bake-sale treat, hiking snack, or healthy homey dessert. Or have one for breakfast, with your morning cuppa or a glass of milk.These home-made energy and protein bars are super healthy because they do not contain any butter or flour. Filled with the goodness of creamy house-made peanut butter and an assortment of nuts and dates, this delicious recipe is definitely a keeper.

Heathy snacks for my wife and I. And can even be a meal replacement bar for her. We have been on a lifestyle change to better our health. Trying to do more organic and no processed food. We feel great. We have lost since March between the both of us over 120 pounds!!!!

Very easy and lightly sweetened granola bars. You can substitute whatever nuts or seeds you prefer. I got a mixed seeds packet which contains melon, pumpkin and sunflower seeds. This makes about 20 bars.

Everybody's making energy bars these days or some kind of healthy snack I figured I'd give it a go and this one's a winner

Definitely delicious and a great energy restorer after heavy workouts or cardio. You'll be tempted to even eat it as a dessert after any meal. ;) (**Disclaimer: I would highly suggest you not eat these bars or other items with protein powder in them unless having been doing intense physical activity, for they can be very unhealthy if eaten on a lazy day.)

With a little bunch of different goodies, these bars can satisfy any craving. Add anything you like, take out what you don't, just make sure additions equal the 2 cups! Sometimes we are in the mood for more chocolate. Or no coconut. So customizable!

This recipe is packed full of both quick and sustained energy for a convenient grab and go breakfast or pick me up snack.It is very adaptable. I like to make with chopped macadamias, hazelnuts, almonds, cashews, pepitas, sunflower seeds, and sesame seeds. I've also added cacao nibs. Whatever I have in pantry. For fruit I like to use cranberries and raisins but is fun to try different variations.The final bars can be a little crumbly, depending on the mix, so we keep in the freezer and they are best when eaten straight away, without thawing. If they crumble too much when cutting I just squeeze the crumbs into a ball or log shape and this works just as well as a bar shape.

These are my favorite granola bars! You can substitute the raisins and seeds for any dried fruits or nuts that you wish. I also have a Chocolate Chip Almond Granola Bar on my page! :)

Before cutting into bars. :-)

My daughter loves granola bars, so we usually have them in the house, but I have yet to find a flavor that I really love. So I decided to try my own mix of ingredients. That's the great thing about homemade granola bars. As long as you stick to the base recipe for the binder (the butter, honey and brown sugar) and the same amounts of ingredients, you can add pretty much whatever ingredients sound good to you at the time. These bars are just the right mix of salty and sweet and keep you filled up between meals. Or they make a good breakfast, served with some fresh fruit.
