Super Energy Bars image

This recipe was inspired by the Super Energy Bars made by the coffee roastery down the street - they're my absolute favorite for a work-day pick me up! This is the 2nd version... it's a recipe in progress. The original used oatmeal instead of flour and no applesauce - it was tasty, but more like granola than bars. I'll keep adjusting and updating the recipe!

Time 20m

Yield 20 bars

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups whole wheat flour
1 cup unsweetened flaked coconut
1/2 cup sesame seeds
1/2 cup pumpkin seeds
1/2 cup sunflower seeds
1/2 cup flax seed
3/4 cup raisins
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
1 1/2 cups natural-style peanut butter
1 cup applesauce
1/4 cup agave nectar (or substitute with 1/2 cup honey)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • Mix all dry ingredients together.
  • Add peanut butter, honey, and vanilla - mix well. (I used my mixer - it's pretty dense).
  • Grease a 13x9 baking pan - spread mixture into pan (should be about an inch thick).
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes.
  • Cool and cut into squares. I'm going to refrigerate them (in the hopes they will hold together a little better).
  • Enjoy -- yummy & healthy!
