A simple recipe for these delicious, easy Vegan Raw Bars. They serve well as a snack or dessert especially if you're on the go or if you are craving something sweet.
These bars have such a delicious texture to them. They're crunchy with some chew and I love how they're naturally sweetened too! Despite the name they are not totally raw because the ingredients are baked in the oven for a bit.
These raw bars desserts are adapted from Aimee Song's recipe for Raw Bars. However, I'm using what I have in the house so thought I'd share my adaptation of her recipe on the blog. She uses sunflower seeds and quick oats but I substituted or left them out simply because I didn't have them. I'm also adding roasted almonds for extra nutrition.
All you need for these raw bite bars are rolled oats, chia seeds, coconut oil, medjool dates, roasted almonds, coconut flakes and a pinch of salt and pepper.
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 do require some time in the freezer to settle them into shape before slicing.
