Crockpot Energy Bars

Ingredients

• 2 Tbsp Almond butter (Or nut butter of choice)
• 2 Tbsp maple syrup (or honey as an alternative)
• 1 Cup Unsweetened Almond milk
• Pinch of salt
• 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
• 2 Large eggs
• 1/3 Cup Quinoa uncooked
• 1/2 Cup Raisins (or dried fruit of your choice)
• 1/3 Cup Roasted Almonds roughly chopped *
• 1/3 Cup Dried apples (or fruit of your choice) roughly chopped
• 2 Tbsp Chia seeds

Directions

1. Spray a 5 Quart crock with cooking spray or use a liner.
   Cut a piece of parchment to just fit in the bottom of it. This can be done by tracing the bottom of your cooker. Spray the parchment with cooking spray, and press it down to adhere it.
2. In a large, micro-wave safe bowl, combine the almond butter and maple syrup and melt until the almond butter is creamy, about 30 seconds.
3. Whisk together the almond butter and maple syrup. Then, whisk in the almond milk, cinnamon and salt. Whisk until the milk is well incorporated with the almond butter.
4. Whisk in the eggs until well combined, then stir in all remaining ingredients thoroughly.
5. Pour the mixture into the prepared Crock and cook on LOW heat until the top of the bars just appear set, about 3 1/2-4 hours.
6. Run a knife around the outside of the bars and remove the bowl from the slow cooker. Place into the refrigerate to cool completely.
7. Once cool, cut into bars and DEVOUR!

NOTE:If you can’t find toasted almonds, just dry toast them in a 400 degree oven for about 5-10 minutes, until lightly golden brown,*Don’t skip this step. It makes the bars so much easier to get out.
