Packed with wholesome ingredients like oats, raisins, walnuts, dried apricots, and banana, they are a tasty way to fuel your day without any added sugar. Let’s get started!
Ingredients:
- 80 grams of rolled oats
- 100 grams of raisins
- 80 grams of finely chopped walnuts
- 100 grams of finely chopped dried apricots
- 1 ripe banana, mashed to a puree
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Banana Puree Begin by mashing one ripe banana in a bowl until it reaches a smooth puree consistency. The banana acts as a natural sweetener and binder for your energy bars, eliminating the need for added sugar.
Step 2: Mix the Ingredients In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, raisins, chopped walnuts, and chopped dried apricots. Stir these dry ingredients together to ensure an even distribution of each component.
Step 3: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients Pour the banana puree into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Mix thoroughly until all the ingredients are well combined. The mixture should be sticky enough to hold together but not too wet.
Step 4: Prepare the Mold Take a mold of 25×15 cm in size and line it with parchment paper for easy removal of the bars later. Pour the mixture into the mold and press it down firmly and evenly with the back of a spoon or a spatula.
Step 5: Chill and Set Place the mold in the refrigerator for about 2 hours to allow the mixture to firm up. Once set, remove from the mold and cut into bars of your desired size.
Conclusion: And there you have it! In just a few minutes of preparation and a bit of chilling time, you have a batch of delicious, healthy energy bars ready to enjoy. These bars are perfect for a quick breakfast, a midday snack, or an energy boost before or after a workout. Enjoy your homemade, sugar-free energy bars, and feel good about the wholesome ingredients you’re putting into your body.
