How to Make No-Bake Energy Bars
Making these passion fruit coconut energy bars couldn’t be simpler:
- De-stone your dates and throw everything in the food processor.
- Blitz for around 3 minutes until all the mixture starts to bunch up. It will happen, don’t be tempted to throw more liquid in there. Just keep the food processor going and the coconut will break down and create the moisture needed to bind it all together.
- Line a freezer proof dish with parchment paper and then transfer the mixture into it.
- Using your fingers or the back of a spoon, press the mixture firmly into a rectangle/square shape about 1cm high (or you could always just roll them into energy balls if you prefer them that way)
- Chill in the freezer for at least 1–2 hours
- Slice into bars and enjoy
That’s it — no oven, no fuss, just a quick and healthy snack ready when you need it.
