Easy 3 Ingredient Energy Bars

What You’ll Need:

Add the 3 ingredients to a food processor or blender. Pulse until combined. Do not over process the mixture or you will get a paste. Line a 4×4 Pyrex container with plastic wrap. With a spatula, spread out the mixture, covering the entire pan. Pull the plastic wrap out of the container. Cut into squares. Use wax paper to separate squares so that they do not stick together. Store in an airtight container for up to a week. (They never last more than a day at our house). Enjoy.
