No-Bake “PB&J” Snack Bars

I’ve been really into making my own snacks recently. I honey making energy bites in addition to good for you “cookies” to get me through the solar day, or for when I’thousand craving sweets. These actually realllly sense of taste like PB&J which was honestly completely unintentional. They’re naturally sweetened with dates, and they are vegan, together with gluten free if yous role certified gluten gratuitous oats. How awesome?! They are protein packed from all of the nuts, nut butters, and chia seeds. These are what you should be snacking on. Trust me.



I know more or less of us hate cleaning our nutrient processors, simply the relaxation of making these totally outweighs cleaning it 🙂 Plus they’re no bake. Super unproblematic.

All you lot accept to make is press them into a parchment lined pan and set them in the refrigerator for a couplet hours. I piece them into bars in addition to roll them individually and so I tin can simply draw them out when I want them.
