Easy Nutty Date Energy Bars
Updated January 2026
If you’re a fan of granola and energy bars, then we have a great recipe for you!
In our quest for eating and cooking wholesome, healthy, and delicious food, we developed this recipe for Nutty Date Energy Bars. You can make these on the weekend and have them ready to pack into school or work lunches.
This recipe comes together quickly in the food processor. It needs to bake so the bars dry out enough so they keep their shape. We like ours fairly small, but feel free to make larger bars if that’s what you like. Wrap them in parchment or wax paper and you’ll be set for the week!
