Snack bars filled with dried cranberries, roasted almonds, and sweetened with honey. These cranberry almond snack bars are perfect for when you’re on the go.
Ingredients
  • ¼ cup almond meal
  • ⅓ cup honey
  • 1 tablespoon coconut butter
  • 1 ¾ cups roasted almonds, chopped
  • ⅛ cup + 1 tablespoon dried cranberries
Directions:
  1. Preheat the oven to 300F. Line a 9x9 inch baking pan with parchment paper so that it hangs over the side. This will make it easier to lift the snack bars from the baking pan.
  2. In a medium sized mixing bowl, add almond meal, honey, and coconut butter. Stir with a spatula until a paste forms.
  3. Add chopped almonds and dried cranberries to the mixing bowl.
  4. Mix all the ingredients together until they are well incorporated.
  5. Transfer the mixture over to the baking pan and use a spatula to flatten it evenly against the bottom of the pan.
  6. Bake the snack bars for about 20 minutes.
  7. Remove the baking pan from the oven and allow it to cool for an hour. Then place the baking pan in the fridge to cool for an additional hour. That way the bars will stick together and become firm.
  8. Take the baking pan out of the fridge and cut into 10-12 bars.
  9. Individually wrap the bars with parchment paper or plastic wrap and store them in an air tight container in the fridge. Store these bars in the fridge so that they retain their firmness. When they’re stored at room temperature, the honey tends to melt a little and become sticky.
  10. Enjoy these cranberry almond snack bars!
Notes
** There's an additional 2 hours of cooling and chilling time.
