Wholesome grain free snack bars that are packed with whole, real foods. Chewy, satisfying, and easy to make too!
Snack bars have become my favorite homemade “granola” type bar. They’re just like store-bought KIND bars, but made in your own kitchen. Primarily from handfuls simple ingredients like cashews, dried berries, and sunflower seeds. Wholesome and texture-filled for those of us who crave satisfying snacks. Grain free, gluten free, salty and sweet, too!
Besides the nuts, dried fruit, and seeds—you’ll need almond meal and honey. If you can’t find it, almond meal is so easy to make at home: simply pulse almonds until they reach a rough flour-like consistency. Honey sweetens, of course, but it also binds all the snack bar ingredients together. It’s perfectly delicious paired with the vanilla flavor, the creamy cashews, and all those sweet dried berries.
Real quick: for those cashews, make sure that you chop them up. Not super fine, but a nice coarse chop. Whole cashews prevent the snack bars from sticking together. You need some small chunks in there. Just like this:
The bars are uniquely chewy while soft in some spots (those buttery cashews!) and crisp on the edge pieces. You get large chunks of nuts and fruit that you can actually see and taste, unlike most granola or energy bars. The snack bars are infused with vanilla and each bite pops with both honey and almond butter. Then, of course, sweet dried berries speckled throughout each bar. There’s something different in every bite which is just so satisfying, isn’t it? You might love my peanut butter trail mix bars and quinoa snack bars, too.
If you have leftover cashews, try a batch of these easy white chocolate caramel cashew clusters next!
So many more versions! Try my vanilla almond snack bars.
The chocolate cherry snack bars too!
And my favorite spiced pumpkin seed cranberry version.
