Homemade Energy Bars

This recipe is supported by Teami Blends

So what does it take to make the ultimate homemade energy bar?

They need to be packed with protein and contain tons of nutrition, but most of all…they should be delicious, right?

Well…we think we might have mastered just that! These bars are a real winner. The apricots and maple syrup help glue all the ingredients together, while bringing a lovely sweetness to the bars. And the combination of raisins, seeds, berries and nuts packs tons of interesting flavours into each bite.

Also, thank you to our friends over at Teami Blends for supporting this recipe! You can learn more about their products below.

Servings: 10 bars
Ingredients
  • 1 cup oats
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin seeds
  • 1 cup almonds
  • 1/2 cup raw buckwheat groats
  • 1/2 cup raisins
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries
  • 1 cup soft dried apricots
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup water
Servings: 10 bars
Ingredients
  • 1 cup oats
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin seeds
  • 1 cup almonds

  • 1 cup soft dried apricots
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup water
Homemade Energy Bars
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 180°C.
  2. Line a large baking tray with greaseproof paper. Spread out the oats, pumpkin seeds and almonds evenly on the tray, then roast for 10 minutes in the preheated oven.
  3. Meanwhile, put the apricots, maple syrup and water in a blender and blend until completely smooth, then transfer to a mixing bowl. Next, add the buckwheat groats, raisins and cranberries.
  4. Remove the baking tray from the oven and leave to cool, but make sure the oven remains switched on. Once cool, transfer the roasted oats, pumpkin seeds, and almonds to the large mixing bowl.
  5. Line an 7” x 7” square cake tin with greaseproof paper before transferring the mixture into the tin. Smooth over the top using a piece of greaseproof paper, pushing down to make sure the mixture is compact. Make sure you push down as firmly as possible to prevent the bars from falling apart when you slice them into bars.
  6. Place the cake tin in the oven for 20 minutes.
  7. Remove the cake tin from the oven and leave the energy bars to cool completely. Note: the energy bars might crumble if you try to slice them before they have cooled completely.
  8. Take the energy mix out of the cake tin and slice into 10 energy bars.

What can I use as a substitute to buckwheat groats ?

Reply
Jack Diamond July 21, 2017 - 4:16 pm

Buckwheat Groats can be found in the kosher section. They are called Kasha. It is not wheat but a berry. There is no gluten.

Reply
Carrie Kennedy July 26, 2017 - 1:06 pm

Kasha is the toasted version of buckwheat, you can use it (it’s not raw), and it has a stronger flavor.

Hi Eowyn. Did you press down as firmly as possible to compact the mixture together before baking? This will prevent the bars from crumbling when you slice them into bars. Hope that helps! Thanks, Roxy (So Vegan)

Reply
Rose October 17, 2017 - 10:57 pm

I pressed mine down good but they still fell apart. I baked them another 10 minutes and that helped but still fell apart some. They sticky too but has a great taste. How did you store them.

Reply
Linda Davison July 22, 2017 - 6:24 am

I made these but they didn’t turn out quite like the picture. They didn’t stick together in a bar they are very crumbly and fall apart. Taste is awesome. What might i have done wrong that they didn’t end up in a bar form?

Reply
Roxy, So Vegan January 9, 2018 - 2:31 pm

Hey Linda. Did you preheat the oven to 180 degrees celsius? This is roughly 350 degrees fahrenheit. If the oven isn’t hot enough, the mixture will crumble when you slice it into bars. Thanks, Roxy (So Vegan)

Maz July 22, 2017 - 9:11 am

Maybe you needed to compress them more before baking ,and I would do it after baking if it was on ongoing problem

Hi! I made the bars this afternoon and they are simply delicious! ! However by necessity I had to change a few ingredient.. .. I used spelt instead of buckwheat (couldn’t find any and we don’t have a health shop ) and honey instead of maple syrup! They taste really great! I’ve been looking for a good energy bar recipe for quite a while now and this one really has a lot in it. Thank you very much!

So the honey was ok? Maple syrup is super expensive in South Africa.

Reply
Sam July 22, 2017 - 11:03 pm

Are the buckwheat groats presoaked or uncooked and raw? You use sulfured apricots which are soft. If the apricots are untreated and dried, should I presoak them to make them soft before adding them to the recipe?
Thank you!

Hey Sam. Yes we would recommend soaking them. It’s important the apricot and maple syrup mixture is smooth so it helps everything stick together when you combine all the ingredients. Thanks and enjoy! Roxy (So Vegan)

Hey Brenda you could try without and replacing it with more apricots, but we haven’t tried this ourselves. It’s important you have enough of the dried apricot mixture to help all the ingredients combine together. Hope that helps, Roxy (So Vegan)

Though well compressed, as per several others’ experiences, mine fell apart after baking /cooling. Very disappointed. I tried also compression after cooling, and rebaked them also. I think they need some other binding ingredient, personally.

Reply
Roxy July 28, 2017 - 10:20 am

Hi Mo F, sorry to hear they are falling apart for you. After blending the soft dried apricots, maple syrup, and water together they should form a paste that acts as the binder. This is what holds everything together. Maybe you need to use a few more apricots? Thanks, Roxy (So Vegan)

Reply
Delfina July 28, 2017 - 2:00 am

I don’t think that anyone who posts a recipe is responsible for providing any nutritional information – if readers wish to work it out for themselves it’s up to them. It’s kind that people make and share their recipes with us for free. Most cookbooks are not free and still do not provide nutritional information.
Thanks Roxy for a delicious recipe that did not crumble when I made it, tastes good, and I hope you post many more!

I made these last night, but did a 2.5x batch and put it in a 9×13 pan (similar volume). A double batch would have been fine. Mine taste great but they are very thick and crumbly despite pressing down hard. Now I have a huge batch of trail mix/granola for my trip!

Reply
Malka August 10, 2017 - 8:56 pm

I make a “no-bake” granola bar that uses honey, date syrup, and peanut butter as the “glue”. Then after pressing firmly into the pan, I just refrigerate it to let it get firm. I am wondering if these need to be baked or treated like my “no-bake” bar.

Reply
Karen Mallett August 16, 2017 - 8:02 am

Followed the receipe completley, compacted the mixture with a potatoe masher, could not have compacted it more unless I ran it over with the car.
Used a nutribullet to mix the apriocot mixture to a smooth paste.
Each slice crumbled, did not slice cleanly like the video shows, expensive to make, wont be doing this again..☹

My wife tried to make this.
It didn’t form properly and fell apart.
She has just sent me the link and asked me to look and recommend what cup she should use for measuring.
I’m at a loss as 1/4, 1/2, and 1 cup seems so vauge.
I understand weight for measuring and exact quantity.
But measuring this list of ingredients by cup seems to be to me like measuring by size and is very random.

Reply
Alison August 29, 2017 - 4:14 pm

Jason, a cup is a standard unit of measurement in the imperial system. It’s 227 millilitres ( mls ) in the metric system.
To ‘translate’ recipes, we usually use 225 mls for 1 cup, 125 mls for 1/2 cup, and 60 mls for 1/4 cup. It’s not a 100% accurate conversion, but it’s always been close enough for me.
Also, 1 tablespoon is 15 mls and a teaspoon is 5 mls.
Hope this helps.

Are you people brain-damaged? THIS ISN’T SUGAR FREE BY A LONG SHOT. Maple syrup is SUGAR. Sweetened dried cranberries have SUGAR in them. Raisins are loaded with SUGAR. This would send the BG skyrocketing.

Now I KNOW that veganism damages the brain!

Reply
Grere September 18, 2017 - 9:03 pm

I don’t see anywhere that it claims to be sugar free. It is however, PROCESSED sugar free. You can buy dried cranberries with no sugar added.
Make sure when you buy the maple syrup that you buy the genuine article – as in REAL maple syrup, not maple-flavoured syrup which is loaded with processed sugars.
I don’t get why people feel they have to attack other people on-line. A recipe is shared – do with it what you will. If you don’t like it MOVE ON.

Reply
Sarah F September 20, 2017 - 6:22 am

Thanks for the amazing recipe. I found it worked really well. I essentially subbed a lot of the dry ingredients for other things, like the nuts for various seeds, and threw in some chia and hemp seeds too. I used hulled buckwheat instead of the groats too. I think it’d be a pretty flexible recipe to be able to sub for wheat free, or nut free eating. For me, its a great lunchbox filler for my energetic boys.

I did make a little more of the apricot paste than the recipe probably called for, as I found it wasn’t blending into a smooth paste without a little extra water added. A teaspoon of vanilla wouldn’t go astray either, just to lift the flavour.

I did press it down extensively, and left the paper on when I baked it, which I assumed that the recipe insinuated be done. I let it cool in the tin, within the paper ‘wrapping’ til just about room temperature, and then sliced it into chunky bars. The knife does need to be very sharp (using the tip worked best for me), and my pieces did crumble a little at the edges, but nothing to complain about, really.

In future, I’d probably look at the balance of dried ingredients, and I’d probably throw some coconut in there somewhere. Overall though, a great base recipe. I just love the idea of using the dried fruit and sweetener as a paste to hold it all together. Next time I may even try throwing in a tablespoon of coconut oil to see how that goes 🙂

Reply
Grere December 2, 2017 - 9:07 pm

Hi Sarah – I actually always put in a tablespoon of coconut oil (with the apricot mixture), and also include coconut flakes. I’ve done this since the first time I made it. But don’t toast the coconut flakes first as they will burn.
My other little trick is to toss the oats in a little melted coconut oil and maple syrup before toasting them, extra yummy!

When looking for some great vegan energy bars, I stumbled upon this recipe. It looked really great, but then reading all the reviews I started doubting. These reviews about the bars being crumbly and not holding shape almost made me not make them.

I’m really glad i ended up making them in the end anyway. They are really great and I just pressed the mixture extremely firmly in the tin. After baking and cooling them, I could cut them easily with a sharp knife. The consistency is perfect and it’s a great snack for on the go.

I’m normally not one to post reviews, but I just felt I needed to set the record straight: these bars are great if pressed down firmly, as is said by the author numerous times!

Hey Robert. The oven should be left on at 180 degrees celsius. Hope that helps!

Reply
Debbie October 22, 2017 - 3:00 pm

I screwed up the recipe but managed to save it – mostly. Here’s where I went wrong; the measures are imperial but the oven temp is metric. This of course, is hindsight. I baked the oats, almonds & seeds at 180F for 20 minutes which didn’t dry them enough. Then I put the pressed bars back in for 10 minutes at the same temp. They didn’t hold together at all when I tried to cut them. I put them back in the oven for maybe 20 additional minutes at the low temp until I noticed the error. I increased the temp to 350F and baked for about 20 minutes. After cooling they cut ok but the texture is a bit off. They still taste great though!
Perhaps this is why some people are finding the bars fall apart. Using the correct temp makes all the difference lol.

Reply
Roxy, So Vegan January 9, 2018 - 2:25 pm

Thanks Debbie! Yes, it’s really important the oven is preheated to 180 degrees celsius, which is roughly 350 degrees fahrenheit. We also use UK cup measurements, though this shouldn’t matter because the ratios will remain the same. Hope that helps! Roxy (So Vegan)

Hey Renee. Did you preheat the oven to 180 degrees celsius? This is roughly 350 degrees fahrenheit. If the oven isn’t hot enough, the mixture will crumble when you slice it into bars. Thanks, Roxy (So Vegan)

These bars are amazing! I didn’t have enough almonds so I added some walnuts too and it was a great decision! Love the walnuts in the bars. Also, I didn’t have any apricots so I used dates. Instead of maple syrup, I added a bit more dates. Turned out AMAZING!!! Thank you for a wonderful and healthy recipe!

Thank You for a great recipe.
I did it twice and it came out amazing.
To all my American vegan friends, pay attention that the oven is on 350f, first time I made this granola bar, my oven was on 180f:))))))

Hi I just made two trays of these and substituted the groats for quinoa and Chia seeds. The first tray crumbled but the second turned out OK because I left it in the fridge for the day then cut it with a small sharp knife. Hope this helps. I’m really happy with them and they keep me full till 2pm from early morning so I don’t the 296 calories mentioned above are a problem. Thank you so vegan! X

Hi Roxy and Ben,
I made your energy bars today and they came out perfect. I changed nothing from your recipe. Perhaps I can give a bit of advice to the whingers on here about keeping the bars together: Follow the instructions; wait for the bars to cool completely (I waited approx 3 hours!); and use a sharp serrated knife to cut them. No problem at all. Thanks for what will become a family classic!
P.S. Would love to post a pic if that option were available!
