I LOVE me some Kind Bars. They are delicious, but the cost of them gets really expensive. (especially because they are gluten free and sometimes vegan). They are a great on the run snack, and I usually always have one stashed somewhere!! Since I know I want to make all my own snacks for Baby S when he/she is able to do so, it’s best to start practicing now! (and I already make a lot already). And speaking of, here is a photo of me growing through the past few months. It’s hard to believe that we’ll be expecting our first little one in just under three months!
I love nuts and chocolate so I thought that this would be a good start. Look for more bars in the future! I’m going to start experimenting with all different flavors! Do you have a favorite granola bar flavor?
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 cup raw almonds (I used whole, but you could use shredded)
- ½ cup honey or maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons flax seeds
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1/4 cup raw pecans (or any other kind of nut)
- 1/4 cup raw walnuts (or any other kind of nut)
- 1/4 cup Enjoy Life Chocolate Chips (dairy free, soy free)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees (optional, you could make these no bake if you'd like by just putting them in the refrigerator right away)
- Mix all ingredients until well combined in a large bowl
- Line a brownie pan (any size) with parchment paper
- Pour mixture into the parchment paper and press down until all the mixture is evenly distributed and tightly compacted
- Bake in the oven for 15 minutes (this is optional, you could put them right in the refrigerator so the honey sets)
- Wait until the bars have cooled down to cut them up (I got 8 pieces out of mine)
- Place them in a container in the refrigerator for keeping (7 to 10 days)
