This is one of my favorite "little" snack bar recipes. I like that it is quick and easy to make to have on hand. It is satisfying for those times I want a little something for an energy boost that is low in calories, sugar and has protein and fiber. Not to mention the extra benefits of eating raw foods. I like to add Wild Orange Essential Oil for it's overall health benefits and it really takes flavor up a notch, too! ENJOY!
Oatmeal Snack Bars
Ingredients:
- 1 cup Oat flour (I grind uncooked Oatmeal in a blender to make into flour)
- 2 cups uncooked Oatmeal
- 1/3 cup walnuts
- 1/3 cup raisins
- 1/8 cup Chia Seeds
- 3-4 T of warm water
- ½ cup local raw honey
- ½ cup peanut butter
- 3 Drops Wild Orange Essential Oil
Directions:
- Heat peanut butter about 45 sec in microwave, just enough to soften it up
- Soak raisins in the warm water for a little bit
- Mix in with all other ingredients thoroughly using water as needed
- Spread into 8x8 pan
- Place wax paper on & pressed dough down firmly
- Cut with a pizza cutter into 32 pieces for snacking (if the house is warm, you may want to refrigerate to make cutting easier)
