At CrossFit this morning (6am), we had a little send off party after our workout for a guy who is moving at the end of the week. I know many people think CrossFit is crazy, but really it is an awesome COMMUNITY, or at least at our box! So we all brought something for the 6am party. I brought these clean no bake bars that I was able to mix up last night, which I will share with all of you!
These would be great for breakfast, snack, or for a sweet treat!
First off a little disclaimer, I know there are many different recipes like this floating around the Web, so this is not a complete original.
INGREDIENTS:
- 2 cups Oats
- 3/4 cup Mini Chocolate Chipes
- 1 cup Coconut Flakes
- 1/2 cup Flaxseed
- 3/4 – 1 cup of Almond Butter
- 1/2 cup Honey
Mix all the ingredients together well.
Warning: Your arm will more than likely get tired because you have to work all the dry ingredients into the Almond Butter. I recommend heating the honey a little if you by the raw type that is not runny.
Line 9 x 13 inch pan with parchment paper. Then spread mixture throughout the pan and press firmly. I took another sheet of parchment paper and laid it over, so I could press it down firmly with both hands. Someone today recommended using a Kettlebell for added pressure!
Place the pan in the freezer for 1 hour. Then refrigerate until you are ready to consume!
I used to make a similar recipe into balls, which we called Energy Balls, but they never held their shape well. The bars were way less messy even for my girls (ages 5 and 2).
The batch I made for CrossFit went fast, so now I am curious how long the batch at my house will last. Next time I whip these up I plan to try SunButter instead of Almond Butter and maybe less Honey since SunButter is sweeter.
