Indulge in the zesty delight of Healthy Key Lime Pie Energy Bars—a vegan and gluten-free snack that combines wholesome ingredients with the tangy flavor of key lime pie. These bars are perfect for a quick energy boost or a guilt-free dessert.


Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Base:
  • 1 cup (140g) raw almonds or cashews
  • 1 cup (150g) Medjool dates, pitted
  • Pinch of salt
  • For the Key Lime Filling:
  • 1½ cups (225g) raw cashews, soaked for at least 4 hours and drained
  • ½ cup (120ml) fresh lime juice
  • Zest of 2 limes
  • ⅓ cup (80ml) coconut oil, melted
  • ⅓ cup (80ml) maple syrup or agave nectar
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional Topping:
  • Shredded coconut or additional lime zest

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Base: Line an 8×8-inch (20×20 cm) baking dish with parchment paper. In a food processor, combine the almonds (or cashews), pitted dates, and salt. Process until crumbly but sticky. Press the mixture firmly into the prepared dish to form the crust.
  2. Prepare the Key Lime Filling: In the same food processor, add soaked cashews, lime juice, zest, coconut oil, maple syrup (or agave), vanilla, and salt. Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down sides as needed.
  3. Assemble the Bars: Pour the key lime filling over the crust. Spread evenly. Top with shredded coconut or extra lime zest if desired.
  4. Chill and Serve: Refrigerate for at least 4 hours until firm. Once set, cut into bars or squares. Serve chilled and enjoy!

Notes

Storage: Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week. For longer storage, freeze for up to 1 month. Lime tip: Use key limes for more authentic flavor if available!
