Easy No Bake Energy Bars
These simple five ingredient bars are the perfect quick snack for a busy day.
recipesbynani.comI love keeping these bars in my kitchen because they are so fast to whip up when I need something healthy and sweet. They have a wonderful chewy texture that keeps me full between meals without needing any baking at all.
My biggest tip is to make sure your nut butter is nice and runny. If it is too stiff, just warm it up for a few seconds in the microwave before you mix everything together.
