SUGAR-FREE ENERGY BARS

 

Sugar-free nut bars are very easy to prepare. If you start by making homemade granola like this one, you’ll only need two more steps to get your bars.

These bars made from nuts, oats, and dark chocolate are sugar-free and are a real treat. You can always have them ready to eat as a snack before or after training, or even for breakfast if you’re in a hurry.

They keep very well in the refrigerator for a week, and you can take them in a box to the gym, the office, or wherever you want.

Although they don’t contain cane sugar, they do contain sweetener, in this case erythritol, but in small quantities. If you want to do without it, you can sweeten it with fruit, for example banana and raisins. You can also add crushed dates.

 

Give these bars a sweet touch with dried fruit, lucuma, stevia, or erythritol

 

Another very natural option is to add stevia, lucuma powder, coconut sugar, or honey. Obviously, in each case the glycemic index will be different, higher with coconut sugar and even higher with honey.

My recipe is suitable for diabetics and for people who want to control their weight, but need an energy boost at a certain time of the day.

 

 

These sugar-free dried fruit bars contain whole grain oat flakes and dark chocolate. To bind the mixture I used melted butter, if you opt for a vegan option, I advise you to use coconut oil.

If you are following a Paleo eating plan, this recipe can be easily adapted, avoid oats, and instead use coconut flour or ground almonds, or a mixture of the two, as fat use coconut oil or ghee.

 

Prepare your snacks at home and control the ingredients.

 

How easy it is to prepare our snacks at home and avoid industrial products, I will never tire of repeating it, everything we do at home allows us to control the ingredients, know in detail each of the products we use and decide the quantity of each one. them.

Many commercial options may contain palm oil, trans fats, and more sugars than desired; they are not prohibitively expensive; they come in many price ranges and have different ingredient formulas.

But without a doubt, making them at home is the best option; it takes very little time, and you can make infinite variations.

I suggest these with dark chocolate, but what about adding some raisins or dried cranberries? Do you like cinnamon? Add it and enhance that flavor. If, on the other hand, you prefer acidic flavors, combine lemon zest and coconut.

As I was saying, the possibilities are many and it’s worth exploring them.
