Healthy Peanut Butter Energy Bars (No Sugar!)

Hi guys!

I’d like to share with you a recipe that I tried yesterday. Since I left Italy 2 years ago I kinda struggled to find healthy snacks. I always crave something sweet during the day while I’m at work but the snacks you find at the supermarket are so full of sugar and preservatives, they’re really not good for you.

So yesterday I did some research on how I could bake the perfect snack myself, with no sugar added! I’m a big fan of peanut butter, and I found this brand that is only peanuts, no sugar whatsoever.

So here is the recipe for these super good and healthy peanut butter, banana, oats and honey energy bars. Only 4 ingredients and really fast to make. I arrived home at 8pm after work, I was tired but it really took me 10 minutes to put the ingredients together.

Ingredients:

250 gr (1 cup) peanut butter (I used one that contains no sugar or preservatives)

60 gr (less than 1/4 cup) honey

160 gr (2 cups) instant oats

2 ripe bananas (medium size)

You can add crushed nuts and cinnamon if you like

Instructions: 

Mash the bananas with a fork

then add the other ingredients and mix until well combined. 

Line a pan with parchment paper and pour the mixture in, press and flatten with a spatula until evenly distributed.

Bake at 180 C (350 F) for 30 min

then cut into bars and let it cool completely. 

You can store at room temperature but I live in a very warm climate so I store in the fridge. Remember to cover them, or they’ll absorb humidity. You can also freeze them.

Enjoy your healthy snack! It's only 80 calories per bar!

Love, Fede
