Coconut Matcha Energy Bars With Almonds, Cashews and Hemp Seeds

Looking for a perfect energy bars recipe? You have just found one! These lovely coconut matcha energy bars are homemade, healthy and so perfectly delicious that you'll be making them over and over again.

Almonds and cashews are combined with unsweetened dark chocolate, some vanilla extract, and beautifully tender dates into lovely green bar that are the best snack choice you can possibly have.

I like to prepare these with some unsweetened coconut flakes, but you can go for shredded coconut or even freshly grated coconut. Whatever works best for you will be just fine. And if you need a little extra zing, add one teaspoon of rum extract instead of vanilla and a pinch of freshly grated ginger. Enjoy!

For this recipe, you can use any kind of nuts you have on hand instead of almonds and cashews. A great option would be finely chopped walnuts which will give you an even crunchier texture and that recognizable taste. And to make the recipe even healthier, replace the dark chocolate with cocoa nibs and add one teaspoon of coconut oil. Combine, cut, and enjoy!
