No Bake Almond Bars

💪Why You’ll Love These No-Bake Bars

Quick & Easy – Just mix, shape, chill, and slice. No baking or cooking needed - Raw!
Allergy-Friendly – Naturally gluten-free, grain-free, and peanut-free, with a vegan-friendly option.
Perfect Snack – A healthy, satisfying treat for after school, post-workout, or anytime cravings hit.
Nutrient-Dense – Packed with protein and fiber to keep you full and energized.
Triple Almond Power – Made with almond flour, almond butter, and sliced almonds for rich flavor and texture.

• Almond Butter – Use a smooth, creamy almond butter for best results. I like to use Barney’s brand, because its thick consistency helps bind the raw dough.
• Almond Flour – Super-fine almond flour, made from blanched ground almonds, works beautifully to hold everything together.
• Sliced Almonds – Sliced almonds mix easily into the dough, adding a delicate crunch in every bite. They also boost the nutritional profile with added healthy fats and protein.
• Coconut Oil – Coconut oil brings everything together while adding richness and moisture. It pairs especially well with almonds!
• Maple Syrup – Pure maple syrup keeps the bars refined sugar-free while also helping moisten the dough.
• Shredded Coconut – I use sweetened shredded coconut for added flavor and chewiness. It adds texture and a hint of sweetness, which plays well with the cranberries and chocolate in the power bars.
• Chocolate Chips – Mini dark chocolate chips are ideal here because they distribute more evenly throughout the dough. You get bits of chocolate in every bite!
• Dried Cranberries – Coarsely chopped dried cranberries add a pop of tart sweetness, vibrant color, and a chewy texture.

1 & 2. Add almond flour, almond butter, coconut oil, maple syrup and salt into a large bowl and mix well to combine.

3 & 4. Stir in shredded coconut, chocolate chips, chopped cranberries and sliced almonds.

5 & 6. Transfer the protein bar dough into a loaf pan lined with parchment paper, then firmly press it down until evenly packed and of uniform thickness. Wrap pan with plastic wrap or foil and place in the refrigerator overnight. Cut into bar shapes or small squares and enjoy.

How to Store Homemade No-Bake Bars

These no-bake almond bars stay fresh for up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator when stored in an airtight container. For the best texture and firmness, enjoy them cold—straight from the fridge!

They also freeze beautifully. Store them in a freezer-safe container and either enjoy them frozen (yes, they’re that good!) or thaw in the fridge for a softer bite. My kids love grabbing one for a healthy after school snack.

Recipe tips

• Use superfine almond flour for the best texture—this helps everything bind together without being gritty.
• Adjust the maple syrup depending on your almond butter's sweetness. If using unsweetened shredded coconut, consider adding a touch more syrup.
• Swap almond butter with peanut butter or even sunflower seed butter.
• Raisins or chopped dates make excellent substitutes for cranberries.
• No mini chocolate chips? No problem! Finely chop a dark chocolate bar.
