raw energy bar

No-bake raw vegan cacao energy bars with dates and coconut. Perfect for snacking on-the-go when in the outdoors and insanely good.

Raw Cacao Energy Bars

dates

oats

coconut

tbsp vanilla extract

tbsp cacao powder

tbsp coconut oil (- melted)

almonds

Soak the dates for 10 minutes, then drain.

Blend the dates in a food processor or powerful blender until they form a paste like consistency.

Add the oats, desiccated coconut, vanilla, cacao powder and melted coconut oil, then blend to combine. If your mixture is too thick, you can add a little coconut oil to help it blend.

Add the raw almonds and blend until the almonds break into chunks.

Once blended line a 17 by 12 cm tin with baking paper and flatten the mixture firmly. You can use a different size tin but this may affect how many or how thick your bars are.

Leave to set in the fridge for three hours or longer.

Once set, cut into 8 bars and tuck in, or keep them in the fridge to enjoy later.

No bake, grain-free energy bar. Simple to make with no added sugar. Keep a stash in your freezer for an easy grab and go healthy breakfast or snack.
