Everything’s Good Protein Bar

I started off planning to make muffins but went in a completely different direction. These bars are loaded with healthy fats, B vitamins, fiber, protein, phytonutrients, iron, manganese, omegas… the list keeps going and going. They’re absolutely delicious with a tall, cold glass of almond milk. Great for an after workout snack or breakfast on the go.

Ingredients

¼ cup	raw honey – if you want your bars to be solid at room temp (I love to eat mine frozen) cut the honey to 2 Tbsp
3 Tbsp	nut butter (almond, peanut, etc)
½ cup	blackstrap molasses
1 ½ tsp	cinnamon
2 cup	Perky’s crunchy flax
1 cup	puffed millet, rice, amaranth, or quinoa
½ cup	Sprouted buckwheat (I used Kaia Foods Raisin Cinnamon Buckwheat Granola)
1 cup	hemp seeds
½ cup	sunflower seeds
½ cup	pumpkin seeds
3 Tbsp	sesame seeds
1 ½ cup	coconut
¼ cup	almonds, lightly ground with “S” blade in food processor
3 Tbsp	flax seed meal
3 Tbsp	chia seed, ground (coffee grinder works best)
1 cup	raisins, chopped
1 Tbsp	coconut o

Directions

Combine cereal, puffed grain, seeds, coconut, nuts, raisins and flax meal, and salba in a bowl. Set aside.
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine honey, nut butter, molasses and cinnamon and heat until well combined. Do not allow to boil and continue stirring.
Pour heated sugar mixture onto the dry ingredients until mixed through.
Lightly oil a cookie pan with coconut oil and press the mixture firmly until distributed
Cover, place in the fridge overnight
Cut bars, wrap in saran individually and place in freezer
Will keep up to a month. Tasty eaten frozen or thawed

Nut allergy: Replace almond with extra sesame seeds. Can use tahini or pumpkin butter in replace of nut butter

Loooooooved these bars! I just stumbled across your site! I am in HEAVEN! This was the first recipe I have made so far and they were delicious. I made some substitutions:

I used dates and mini dark chocolate chips
I used a different flax cereal then what was reccommended
I left out the selba seed – what the heck is selba seed????
~I am out in the boonies of saskatchewan canada, certain things are hard to find~
Look forward to trying all the recipes

Leanne (Healthful Pursuit): Glad you liked them, Juli! Dates would be great in those bars, good substitution Salba seed = chia seeds. Do you have a bulk barn nearby? That’s where I get a lot of the ingredients for the blog.
