Here is the recipe for my new no bake energy nuggets – FINALLY! These babies are way easier to make than the energy balls as you can simply slice and dice the dough rather than rolling the it into balls. They also have a great crunch from the brown rice crisps that reminds you of a healthy rice crispy treat. Hope you enjoy them as much as my boo and I do! <3

Serves: 24
Ingredients
- 1 cup brown rice crisps
- ½ cup gluten-free rolled oats
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 tbsp hemp hearts
- ⅓ cup chopped pistachios
- ⅓ cup mini dark chocolate chips
- 1 cup creamy almond butter
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- ½ tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix all ingredients except almond butter, cinnamon, and maple syrup. (Note: You can substitute the pistachios, chia and hemp seeds for any seed/nut combo you want!)
- In a small sauce pan, warm up almond butter, maple syrup, and cinnamon until fully mixed (about 2 minutes).
- Add almond butter mixture to dry mixture. Stir until it forms a dough.
- Line a 8x8 pan with parchment paper and add dough into the pan.
- Press dough firmly down into the pan with your hands to make sure all dry ingredients are pushed down into the almond butter mixture.
- Refrigerate for 30-45 minutes or until cooled off.
- Pull parchment paper and bar mixture onto a cutting board. Cut into small squares.
- Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for a ready to eat snack or dessert. If you will be bringing them on-the-go, I suggest putting them in the freezer. Eat within 2 weeks and enjoy!
