We go through a lot of store-bought snack/protein/breakfast bars. Bud eats them for a morning snack. I try to find ones that are healthy and without too much sugar and affordable, but it is hard. I went online in search of something easy that I could make and found a recipe for Best Date Bars Ever from Ginny on Vegan in the Freezer.
These weren’t quite what I was looking for, more of a dessert treat than energy builder; but with oats, nuts and dates, they would have some nutritional value and satisfy Bud’s sweet tooth. I had to stash half in the freezer; this worked out well even though they are a bit more crumbly after thawing.
If you are looking for a quick and easy 5-ingredient dessert bar, check these out. Ginny’s recipe is vegan and dairy-free; but they can easily be adapted. It is a keeper in our house. Next maybe I will try her Healthy Snack Bar recipe.
Do you make your own snack/protein/breakfast bars? Vegan or not, please share here.

These look good. My mum makes the most amazing date bars but I have never tried making them. I have pinned this recipe to try if I get ambitious.

It doesn’t take much time or effort but they are heavy on sugar. Happy baking! 😀

We also struggle, here in South Africa, to find energy bars that are nutritious and affordable.
We tried once to make our own, sourced all the main ingredients from a wholesale supplier. They came out yummy, still a bit crumbly.
These look amazing 🙂

They were. I loved the date filling the best. Unlike my husband I don’t have much of a sweet tooth, just other vices.
