No-Bake Cinnamon Raisin Almond Butter Oat Bars, that’s a mouthful to say!
The kids are headed back to school soon, which means packing lunches and providing after school snacks. Sometimes it’s difficult to come up with healthy snacks that the kids will love and are safe to bring to a “peanut free” zone. Snacks made with almond butter are a great option as almond butter provides protein, fiber and a dose of healthy fat. Almond butter is extremely nutrient dense and provides vitamin E, magnesium and potassium. It also helps with sustained energy and optimizing blood glucose control. I love using nut-butters in kid-friendly recipes because it keeps the little ones feeling full and happy for longer!
These aren’t just for kids! They make a great adult approved snack or can be paired with a piece of fruit for a wholesome breakfast!
Store in an air-tight container in the refrigerator and individually wrap for an on-the-go snack. You can substitute brown rice syrup with agave or maple syrup. However, just make sure to adjust the amount of oats as needed because brown rice syrup is much thicker than maple syrup or agave. You want to aim for a cookie dough consistency.
