ALMOND FUDGE ENERGY BARS

By

Summer is here which means it’s time for hikes and all things outdoors. If you need a little kick of energy throughout your day, or during your next outdoor adventure, this will be the recipe for you. These almond fudge energy bars, are simple to make and only require 8 ingredients.

Here is how these almond fudge energy bars are made:

Line an 8×8 or 9×9 square baking pan with parchment paper and set aside.

In the bowl of a food processor, add the oats, almonds, cocoa powder and salt. Pulse until all the ingredients are all chopped up into a coarse powder.

Add in the pitted Medjool dates and pulse until there a no more visible chunks of dates.

Add the almond butter and maple syrup. Pulse a few more time until well combined.

Transfer the energy bar mixture into your prepared baking pan.

Using your hands or the flat side of a measuring cup, evenly and firmly press the mixture into your pan.

Cover and place your pan in the fridge to set for 3 hours.

Lift the bars from the pan using the parchment paper. Cut into whatever size bar you prefer and enjoy.

These should be kept in the fridge in an airtight container and are best eaten cold in my opinion as they will remain firmer.
