These bars are the paleo equivalent of a granola bar. They’re packed with good fats, protein, and fiber, they’re easy to make, portable, filling, easy to change up with different fruits and nuts, and most importantly, delicious! Have one with breakfast, pack one in your lunchbox, or stick in it in a baggie for an energizing afternoon snack! Try adding in some dark chocolate, or sub craisins, apricot or dried apples for the raisins, or try macadamia nuts instead of pecans, maybe stir in a spoonful of almond butter…..have fun!

I see a hefty amount of flax seed meal in this recipe. However, I can’t stand the taste of it. Is there something else that I could use instead?
Thank you.
You could try chia powder or perhaps some almond meal?
Hi Tony! Thanks so much for your question! I do not have a recipe at the moment, however, that’s a wonderful idea and I am going to make it my next project!
