Chocolate Energy Bars Recipe
Copyright 2024 by Lisa Maliga
This one ticks a lot of boxes if you’re looking for nut-free, vegan, low-sugar and an easy no-bake snack or dessert. It took me four tries to get it right. I’d also recommend storing them in the refrigerator, especially in warm weather.
This is an original recipe from the second book of the new Yolanda’s Yummery Cozy Mystery series.
Ingredients:
6 Tablespoons virgin coconut oil
5 Tablespoons organic coconut sugar
2/3 cup agave nectar
2 Tablespoons cocoa powder, sifted
1 1/2 cups crispy rice cereal
3 cups rolled oats
2 Tablespoons chia seeds
1/2 teaspoon Himalayan pink salt
1/2 cup chocolate chips
Instructions:
In a large glass measuring cup or bowl, combine the first four ingredients and stir well over medium heat. Remember to sift the cocoa powder before adding it to the oils and sugar so the mixture is smooth.
In a very large bowl, combine the rice cereal, rolled oats, salt, and chia seeds with a whisk.
Pour in the warmed up wet ingredients and mix well. Wait about 10 minutes to add the chocolate chips as you don’t want them to melt completely.
In a parchment-lined 8” x 8” or 9” x 9” square pan, spoon in the mixture. Use a spatula to even out the top. Cover with plastic wrap and let sit on the counter for a few hours before slicing and eating.
If you’re in a hurry, put it in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
Lastly, use a pizza cutter or sharp knife to cut the energy bars into squares or rectangles.
Store in the refrigerator. Wrap with waxed paper or plastic wrap.
Some Substitutes:
If you want a buttery flavored energy bar, use butter instead of coconut oil.
Don’t have any agave in your cupboard? No problem, use either honey or pure maple syrup.

Choliya Chaat
“Green Chickpea Chaat”
This quick and easy chaat is power packed with protein and is a delicious yet healthy snack. Choliya brings back childhood memories, of when we used to visit my grandparent in Rajasthan during summer vacation, they would harvest choliya and we could eat it fresh from the pods.
The memory is still so fresh and this quick-to-assemble chaat makes me feel closer to home. I…
