Description
Deliciously boost your day with these Coffee Ginger Energy Bars, packed with flavor and energy.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup cashew butter
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup cooled espresso
- 1/4 cup diced candied ginger
- 1/4 cup mixed seeds (such as pumpkin and sunflower)
- 1/4 cup dark chocolate chunks (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Instructions
- Mix the rolled oats and cashew butter in a large bowl until they form a cohesive blend.
- Gradually drizzle in the maple syrup and cooled espresso, stirring continuously to achieve a smooth consistency.
- Fold in the diced candied ginger, mixed seeds, dark chocolate chunks (if desired), sea salt, and ground nutmeg, ensuring that all ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.
- Prepare a square baking dish by lining it with parchment paper, allowing some excess to hang over the edges for easy lifting later.
- Transfer the mixture into the lined dish and use your hands or a spatula to firmly pack it down into an even layer.
- Place the dish in the refrigerator for a minimum of 2 hours to allow the mixture to firm up completely.
- After chilling, carefully lift the block out of the dish using the parchment overhang and slice it into bite-sized squares or bars.
- Store these power bites in a sealed container in the fridge, where they will stay fresh for up to a week.
Notes
- For a soy-free option, replace cashew butter with tahini.
- Incorporate a scoop of your favorite protein powder for an additional protein kick.
