Sugar-free chocolate energy bar

I've mentioned before that it can be tricky to find a healthy snack that's also easy to make and take with you. The recipe I previously posted for making energy bars from coconut and chia seeds has become incredibly popular. That shows how many people are looking for healthier alternatives to supermarket snacks. So here's another recipe for healthy snacks — Sugar-free Chocolate Energy Bar.

Cooling time 30 min
Total 40 min

Equipment

  • Food processor
  • Baking pan
  • Parchment paper
  • Fridge
  • Knife

Ingredients

  • 100 g (Medjool) dates, pitted
  • 20 g hazelnuts
  • 20 g almonds (blanched or with skin)
  • 3 tbsp organic cocoa powder (about 25 g)

Sugar-free chocolate energy bar

    1. Pit the dates and cut each date into 4 pieces (this makes the food processor's job easier).
    2. Put the nuts in the food processor first and grind finely. Then add the dates and the cocoa powder and pulse a little longer until you have a fine mixture.
    3. Pour the mixture into a (square) baking pan or shallow dish lined with parchment paper. Press down firmly and make sure the edges are straight; this helps most energy bars turn out nicely rectangular.
    4. Let firm up in the fridge for 30 minutes, then cut into pieces or bars. Store wrapped in aluminum foil; the bars will keep at least 4 days. Enjoy!

These sugar-free chocolate energy bars are a delicious and healthy on-the-go snack. They're quick to make and contain no added sugars, just the natural sweetness of dates.

Store the bars wrapped in aluminum foil in the fridge. They will keep for at least 4 days and are convenient to take along as an energy boost on busy days.
