Paleo Cinnamon-Raisin Energy Bars

Need a little energy boost? Bite into one of these delicious homemade paleo energy bars…

This is a new take on our popular Nutty Pumpkin-Spiced Paleo Energy Bars. While that recipe gave you a yummy taste of fall with its pumpkin spice and dried cranberries, this version is more of a multi-purpose, any time of year kind of grab and go energy bar.

Like before, these gluten-free bars are packed with nuts and seeds. Feel free to change the combination up if you like as long as all the nuts/seeds add up to about 2 1/4 cups. [av_sidebar widget_area=’Lockerdome’ av_uid=’av-8k41i’]

Note too, this cinnamon-raisin version only needs half the honey of the pumpkin spice bars…but as always, you can adjust the recipe any way you like to suit your personal taste.

Keep these refrigerated and enjoy the bars chilled.

That’s about it…make these soon and get energized!

  1. This may sound stupid…but I have to ask anyway….when using the pumpkin & sesame seeds in your recipes do you use shells and all?

    1. Great question Sue. :) All of the nuts and seeds are without shells. :)

  2. I substituted coconut oil for the coconut butter and they were delicious! Couldn’t ask for a better “sweet and crunchy” fix!

  3. Anonymous says:

    Can coconut oil be substituted for coconut butter?

    1. Yes, the coconut butter is just a bit more creamy. :)

  4. No idea how my first comment went on the wrong recipe, but I just made these and they are awesome! I rolled a few into ball shapes for my boys and they love them, thank you!

    1. Amanda, thank you my friend! Yay, It’s always a good sign if the kids like them. :) thank you for your kind words!
