Tips For Baking Paleo Snack Bars

By Ginny Talbot


Paleo snack bars can be a healthy, easy treat that can keep you full and provide you energy. In addition, these bars don't contain all the unhealthy processed ingredients that can damage your diet plan. If you cannot locate a flavor you like or you do not want to pay for store-bought treats, you can make your very own at home by following a simple list of ingredients.

Ingredients in paleo protein bars vary, however, they typically contain a range of nuts and seeds, a part that helps keep the mix together, seasoning and in some cases an additional source of protein. Recipes can also be changed to enhance tastes, boost protein or increase variety.

I don't think there is one "best" recipe, as various individuals have various tastes. In fact, lots of people who make their own paleo protein bars have tried a number of different recipes prior to choosing one or two that they really like.

Using a Selection of Nuts and Seeds

There are many choices when it comes to nuts and seeds. Some popular options are almonds, walnuts, pecans, macadamias, Brazil nuts, sunflower seeds, flax seeds, pumpkin kernals, and so on. Using a range of various seeds in your baking will create an unique texture and enhance the nutrition value.

Keeping Your Bar from Crumbling to Pieces

Obviously, the point of baking hand-held snacks is to have a convenient (and often portable) snack that will not fall apart in your hand as you are eating it. There are a variety of different ingredients you can use to make everything stick, while also boosting the dietary value of your paleo snack.

Here are some ideas: almond butter or various other nut butters, coconut oil combined with almond meal, whey protein powder mixed with an egg or raw honey. As you can see, some items contain more protein and some are sweeter or more flavorful than others. You can add a couple of these sticky elements - or you can add all of them.

Enhancing the Flavor

This is where the cooking gets fun. With an easy spice or liquid flavoring, you can change the entire taste of your bars without changing the entire recipe. For instance, many people add cinnamon, cocoa or vanilla extract, but you could also utilize peppermint, orange extract, chili pepper, hazelnut, etc.

Additionally, you can include other nutritious flavor enhancers like unsweetened coconut or dried fruit like blueberries or dried apples.

The Cooking Process

The technique of cooking protein bars can also vary, depending on the components you use and the size of your recipe. Generally, the procedure involves baking your mixture in the oven at about 325 degrees for about 10 minutes - give or take a few minutes.
