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…

  2. In a large bowl stir together sunflower seeds, hemp hearts, pepitas, shredded coconut, cinnamon, and turmeric.

    OHHHHH I actually may be a seed girl. But peanut butter…IDK! I’m in love with pumpkin seeds, I have them almost every day! I feel like with the turmeric and healthy fats, these would be perfect stomach soothers! This is fantastic! And I feel ya on the messy kitchen…we don’t have a dishwasher (besides my boyfriend with his rubber duck yellow gloves). Nuff said.

    SEEDY bars are my favorite. I love how you made them all into such a pretty looking bar. Now I just need some pumpkin seeds, hemp hearts, and chia seeds? I can’t wait to try these. I think I need to make more of my energy bars. How much do you make your own and do you buy your own Ashley?

      They could also be made into balls if you’re feeling that route! But let’s see… typically I make them myself probably 75% of the time? It depends on if I am traveling or what kind of trips I have planned. But more often than not I like to make my own. Typically costs less and you don’t have to worry about added junk or even higher sugar in some of the “better” brands.

    If I were to add protein powder to this – what would you recommend I switch out or modify?

      Gosh Charlotte my apologies for not seeing this comment sooner! Sometimes my spam folder gets crazy 🙁
      But I would say you could possibly try switching out the hemp hearts for some protein powder! And if the mixture feels dry, I’d add more oil or nut/seed butter to help it come together. Hope that helps! (again sorry for the late response!)
