No-Bake Nut Butter Energy Bars




No-Bake Nut Butter Energy Bars

Ingredients
1/2 cup agave nectar
2 tbsp coconut oil
1 1/2 cup almond butter  (you can use peanut butter or cashew butter)
3 cups oats
2 scoops all natural vanilla  protein powder
1/4 cup dried fruit (raisins, cranberries, apple)
1/4 cup slivered almonds
1/4 cup raw sunflower seeds 

Directions
Warm agave, coconut oil and nut butter in a saucepan. Add remaining ingredients. Mix well. Spread into parchment lined pan. Place in fridge to cool.
Note: If you find the mixture too crumbly, increase the amount of agave or nut butter until desired consistency is reached.
This is great to make a head of time for the week. It’s a great substitute for energy bars you buy at the store.  It has less sugar, less expensive, tastier and much better for you.
