Coconut, Date, and Puffed Millet Bars (Gluten Free + Vegan)

Anyone who knows me, knows that I’m obsessed with snacking. I seriously could snack all day rather than eating complete meals.

Coconut, Date, and Puffed Millet Bars (Gluten Free + Vegan) Another thing I’m obsessed with is NuttZo Power Fuel Nut and Seed Butter. It’s SO good!! So good, that I can eat half of it with a spoon straight out of the jar! Plus, it’s organic, Paleo, and made with no added sugars or oils (that gets an A+ in my book!).

So, these bars are pretty much my favorite snack bars. They are great as a grab-and-go breakfast, as a pre or post-workout snack, or even as a guilt-free dessert.

    These are amazing! I did it with maple syrup (a little less than what it called for) and it was delicious but a bit too sweet for me. If I’m trying to cut back on sugar, what alternative can I use as the wet ingredient?

    I had a bag of puffed millet that needed to be used if we were not allowed out for a while. Goggled puffed millet and your recipe came up. This is such a yummy recipe.I do half honey, half maple syrup. a little sweeter. It has been my goto treat food during the COVID19 isolation. And now we are coming out of lockdown I’m able to share with others 🙂

    These are great! Made them for a friend with some allergies and they are good! I chopped the dates and put them in the pan with walnut oil (couldn’t use coconut) and the honey and let them reduce a bit before adding the peanut butter! Super delicious! Thank you so much!

    1. Thank you Briana! I’m so happy that you enjoyed these bars! What a great idea for the dates, I will definitely have to try that next time!!
