Guys, can I just say how happy I am to be here today? I had a pretty great weekend of recipe testing and planning out these next couple weeks and I am just so excited about these next few recipes I have to share. I’ve managed to have the first productive day in quite some time and it feels SO good. Of course my house is still a mess and my kitchen is a COMPLETE disaster at the moment (always…?) … But little wins, my friends… little wins. Plus a part of me kind of wants to leave the kitchen the way it is and show Drew what he misses when he’s not home 😀 Okay, fine… I could also use some help.

Anyways, I’m also pretty pumped about these super seed energy bars.

Why? Because seeds are awesome, and I feel like they are often forgotten about. Nuts get all the glory. Don’t get me wrong, we all know how I feel about nuts (AKA butters)… But seeds get overlooked sometimes. So I thought it was time we dedicate an entire bar recipe to them.

Cinnamon Turmeric Super Seed Energy Bars

Seeds may be small but they are seriously packed with so much nutrition. And FEAR NOT THE FAT. We’ve got the healthy fats going on here. Not to mention vitamins, minerals, protein and fiber…

sunflower seeds a great source of vitamin E, “sunflower seeds are one of the best natural sources of this antioxidant”

pumpkin seeds “One-quarter cup of pumpkin seeds contains nearly half of the recommended daily amount of magnesium…”

hemp hearts omega 6 and omega 3 essential fatty acids, plus a great source of protein

chia seeds “almost all of the carbs in chia seeds are fiber”

Basically seeds are freaking awesome.

We’re also adding in some shredded coconut, which technically speaking is not a nut 😉

1 bowl, no-bake Cinnamon Turmeric Super Seed Energy Bars. Healthy fats, protein and fiber!

Once you combine all of your seeds and spices in a bowl, the only thing left to add is a little bit of brown rice syrup, some nut butter, and coconut oil to help hold the bars together.

If you cut the bars into 12, you’ll get about 13 grams of healthy fats, 10 grams of carbs, 5 grams of natural protein, and only 5 grams of sugar

I love that these bars only require one bowl and maybe 15 minutes or so in the freezer to set. So easy and who doesn’t have 15 minutes?! Hey, maybe you could even get in a quick workout while the bars are setting too…

    I agree these look and sound great, but can anyone who has actually made them comment on how they taste and how they affected your digestive system and energy level? Thank you!

    Should I soak the chia seeds first?

      Nope! They just go in the mix as is 🙂

    What a waste of good ingredients. This recipe doesn’t bind at all.

      Hi Diane, sorry this recipe didn’t work out for you! I’ve made it several times with no issues as have other readers. Not sure what could have happened unless your honey wasn’t very thick and sticky.

    Would this still hold together if I used a powered sweetener instead of a sticky sweetener?

    BEST SEED BARS EVER! I made them this evening though I made some adjustments (like adding only 1 tbsp honey and then 2tbsp xylitol), adding protein powder, a little more oil (cause of the powder) and having to switch from hemp to flaxseed. Very happy with how they turned out!

      I usually say homemade bars like these should be enjoyed within two weeks.
