These baked strawberry oat bars combine sweet summer strawberries with fiber-rich, nutty oats for the perfect on-the-go snack or breakfast. Old-fashioned oats are best here, as they absorb just the right amount of liquid during baking.
Almond and date bars
These no-bake snack bars are packed with nuts, dried fruit, and rice cereal. For the best texture, use naturally sticky pitted whole dates. Make these bars ahead of time and pack them in a lunch box for work or school.
Peanut Energy Bars
This carb-rich bar, packed with nuts, seeds, fruit, and oats, was adapted from Amy Harrison’s award-winning recipe from the Plains, Georgia Peanut Festival recipe contest sponsored by the Peanut Institute. It packs a little protein and makes a great pre-workout snack in the morning when you don’t have time to digest a full meal.
Fruit and coconut bars
With just five ingredients, these simple, no-bake energy bars are tastier than any you can buy! Dates, cashews, almonds, and coconut are blended in the food processor for an easy, homemade version of a Larabar. Pack one for a healthy snack to work, or send a few to your kids for an energizing snack before soccer practice.
Almond and honey energy bar
Perfect for breakfast on the go! Golden toasted nuts, seeds, and oats are wrapped in savory almond butter in these deliciously chewy, easy-to-make energy bars. Unrefined turbinado sugar adds a deep caramel hue. Feel free to use light brown sugar instead. Bars stored at room temperature will be softer than those that are refrigerated.
