    I haven't baked in so long.  One of the major reasons I don't is because we do not need the sweets in the house.  Grumpy and I both have the need for a diet lower in carbs.  He because he is diabetic, and me because I have anemia and need more protien than I need carbs.  I have really been picking and choosing what I do eat for carbs so I decided to give these Chocolate Chip Energy Bars a try this week.  I'm definitely happy I did!

    These bars were delicious and can be made with several different variations.  I love the pecans nutty roasted flavor, but you can definitely do other mix ins.  I also made Blueberry Coconut Pecan with dried blueberries and Cookie Butter Raisin.  I did try coconut flour and coconut sugar in both recipes as well as agave syrup instead of honey in the Cookie Butter Raisin.  Try making these and mix them up the way you think you would like them.  Its a great base recipe for certain.

    These bars were tasty the day they were made, but they were much better the day after!  What I love the most about these bars are they are homemade with real wholesome ingredients.

    To make Blueberry Coconut Pecan bars:  Use almond butter instead of peanut butter, ½ cup unsweetened coconut flakes and ⅓ cup dried blueberries.  I stuck with honey for this one since the almond butter was looser than the peanut butter.  For sugar I used coconut sugar.
    To make Cookie Butter Raisin Bars:  Use cookie butter instead of peanut butter, ½ cup raisins.  I used agave syrup for this in place of honey since the cookie butter was pretty thick.  For sugar I used coconut sugar.

    4. Stir in flour, flaxseed meal, oat and nut mixture, and mini chocolate chips into wet mixture.

      I love that these are homemade and not full of a lot of ingredients no one can pronounce like most "energy" bars. A great idea for an after school snack, too!
