What are Vegan Oat Bars?
These tasty, chewy, naturally sweetened vegan oat bars are made of rolled oats, chia seeds, coconut oil, medjool dates, roasted almonds, coconut flakes and a pinch of salt and pepper.
These raw bite bars have such a delicious texture to them. They're crunchy with some chew. The best part is that they're naturally sweet thanks to the medjool dates. These work well as a and nutritious snack for a boost of energy! Best of all, you can pack them for school, work or on-the-go!
They do require some time in the freezer to settle them into shape before slicing. I love making these from time to time especially for my husband when he goes out to cycle. It's a great little snack for him to take when his energy is low after a long bike ride.
