Can you believe you only need 3 main ingredients to make these delicious apricot energy bars and no cooking is needed?! The apricots and the dates are a great combination and they create the very moist yet firm texture of the bars. You don’t need any milk or additional oil for the recipe, they are so simple to make! I love no bake treats!
The above picture shows all you need to do to make the dough. The food processor does the whole job for you and the only thing left is to shape the bars and leave them to cool in the freezer.
The nuts and the fruits are a great energy booster. These bars are very high in magnesium, fibre and a range of other health-benefiting nutrients. The walnuts will also provide you with the essential for our body omega-3 fatty acids. You need to keep in mind that they are quite sweet and therefore high in sugar so don’t make the bars too big. I know you want to, but try not to eat too many at once :)
dates These apricot energy bars are perfect for lunch boxes or to take to work for an afternoon snack. Best to keep them cool in the fridge and they will last longer.
