Ingredients
Directions
Add all ingredients to a blender or food processor.
Blend until smooth.
Taste for additional ingredients or texture. It should be a moist dough-type consistency that you can press into a dish. If it’s too dry, add more water 1–2 tablespoons at a time.
Line an 8x8 baking dish (or similar size) with parchment paper. Scoop the dough into the dish and press with clean hands so that it’s tightly packed.
Place in the freezer for one hour.
Remove the parchment paper from the dish and cut into individual 2x2-inch energy squares. You should get about 16 squares.
Store the squares in an air-tight sealed container in the refrigerator for 7–10 days or in the freezer for up to 30 days.
Chef's Notes
Substitutions
Use almond butter or your favorite nut or seed butter in place of peanut butter.
Cocoa powder can be used in place of cacao powder. (Cacao refers to cacao beans that have not been roasted and cocoa refers to cacao beans that have been roasted. While cacao powder is less processed than cocoa powder, either would work in this recipe.)
Include more superfoods
Add goji berries for more antioxidants and natural fruit energy.
Include your favorite superfood powders by mixing 1–2 teaspoons into the batter.
Add whole nuts and seeds to make it a post-workout snack with protein. (Walnuts taste delicious in this energy square!)
