Easy No Bake Almond Butter Bars

Try this simple no bake almond butter bars made with nuts, fruit, oatmeal, almond butter and coconut for a delicious snack on the go!

I often hear from mothers that their go-to snack is a granola bar. These certainly come in handy in a hurry, but have you ever looked at what’s in most granola bars? Often times they’re packed with refined oils like canola or soybean oil and contain way more sugar than protein (which will just leave you hungry an hour later!)

That’s why I was on a quest to create a simple and tasty bar that contains protein, healthy fats, and carbs to help keep you feeling full for much longer, while also tasting amazing.

These Easy No Bake Almond Butter Bars also make a great option for the upcoming holiday season and caters to gluten free and vegan eaters.

Enjoy! I doubt you’ll be able to eat just one. 🙂
