RECIPE | RAW BARS (VEGAN)

Hi Everyone!

I was so inspired by Aimee Song’s recipe for Raw Bars that I decided to make them.  I’m using what I have in the house so this is definitely an adaptation to her original recipe, which you can find here.  She uses sunflower seeds and quick oats but I subtituted or left them out simply because I didn’t have them.  I’m also adding roasted almonds for extra nutrition.

These are great as a healthy snack, a boost of energy and best of all, you can pack them for school, work or on-the-go!  They also require no baking whatsoever and require some time in the freezer to settle them into shape before slicing.

I hope you enjoy this adaptation and if you do, please share it with your family and friends!

Take care,
Christie
