Superfood Bar Recipes

Steps:

• Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
• Combine buckwheat, hemp seed hearts, almonds, coconut flakes, chia seeds, and cacao nibs in a large bowl.
• Mix 1 1/2 cup almond butter, sugar, honey, and salt together in a large saucepan over low heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes. Pour in buckwheat mixture; stir until completely coated. Press mixture into the prepared pan.
• Place chocolate chips and 1 tablespoon almond butter in a small saucepan over low heat; stir until melted, about 5 minutes. Spread melted chocolate over the mixture in the pan with a spatula.
• Refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour. Cut into bars.

Steps:

• Line a 13-by-9-inch pan with parchment paper and set aside. In a large bowl combine the millet, flax seeds, oats, coconut, hemp, chia and maca if using.
• Roughly chop the dates and add to a food processor with the almond butter, cacao, coconut oil, brown rice syrup, 4 teaspoons water, the vanilla extract and salt, and blend until combined. Add to the dry mix and mix until completely combined. Press evenly into the prepared tray and freeze until completely cold and firm, 2 hours.
• Remove and slice into 24 1-by-2-inch bars. Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Steps:

• For the base: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Toss the oats with the butter on a rimmed baking sheet and spread in an even layer. Bake until toasted, 18 to 20 minutes. Let cool completely, then transfer to a large bowl. Stir in the almonds, pepitas and walnuts.
• For the bars: Line a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with foil, leaving an overhang. Coat the foil with cooking spray.
• Combine the sugar, butter, honey, vanilla and salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally; the mixture will bubble and foam. Boil for 30 seconds, then pour over the oat mixture and stir. Let cool slightly, then stir in the blueberries, goji berries, quinoa and chia seeds. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and press firmly with a rubber spatula to spread in an even layer.
• Let the bars stand at room temperature until completely cool and firm enough to slice, 1 to 3 hours. Lift out of the pan using the foil overhang and cut into 20 bars. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
