Energy Bar Made With 3 Ingredients – No Cook Energy Bar

Jump to Recipe
Energry Bar Pin

This Energy Bar Made With 3 Ingredients is an absolute fun to make during summer months. This is a No Cook recipe and is ready in under 10 minutes.

Summer breaks are fun and tiring! Summer breaks are fun for kids and tiring for parents! It has been only 2 weeks since they are out of school, but it already feels like couple of months. One side of me is so enjoying the relaxed mornings and the fun day outs with the boys but the other side of me is ready to get them back to school.

Mom, can I have something to eat? This is the only other thing I hear from there apart from the constant fights between them. When choosing recipes for the 3 ingredients theme, I came across this energy bar recipe which sounded very fun. My boys do not like dates but my husband loves it. So this recipe would be a win-win situation for me as in it will be eaten up even if the boys did not eat it.

My dad had bought lot of dates from his recent trips to Middle East and they worked perfectly for this energy bar recipe. We do need the dates because it becomes the binding factor in the recipe. Apart from the dates, we can pick any dry fruits of our choice. I used cranberries as the dry fruit component and almonds for the nut component in this no bake energy bar recipe.

You could use the nuts as is or toasted. I personally like the toasted nuts as it has a lovely nutty flavor to it. Once you toast the nuts, make sure that they cool down to room temperature before grinding it.
