What is a Sugar Free Bar?

Sugar-free bars are healthy snacks made with all-natural ingredients that do not contain refined sugar. These bars are particularly energizing, nutritious and filling. Since dried fruits and nuts are used as natural sweeteners, there is no need for extra sweeteners. It is a great alternative for those who avoid sugar, adopt a healthy lifestyle and are looking for an energy boost for an active day.

Why Dried Fruit Sugar Free Bar?

  • Natural Sweetness: Thanks to the natural sweetness of dried fruits, there is no need to add extra sugar.
  • Nutritious: Rich in nuts, fiber, healthy fats and vitamins to keep you full for longer.
  • Easy to Carry: The bars are easy to carry in your bag and can fulfill your energy needs throughout the day.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup Orgibite Dried Figs (chopped small)
  • 1 cup Orgibite Dried Apricots (chopped)
  • 1/2 cup Orgibite Raisins
  • 1/2 cup Orgibite Hazelnuts (chopped)
  • 1/2 cup Orgibite Walnuts (chopped)
  • 1/4 cup Orgibite Pistachios (chopped)
  • 1 cup oatmeal
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 2 tablespoons peanut butter (unsweetened)
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil (melted)
  • 1/4 cup honey or date syrup (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • A pinch of salt

Preparation:

  1. Prepare Dried Fruits: Chop Orgibite Dried Figs, Dried Apricots and Raisins into small pieces. These ingredients will determine the sweetness and texture of your bars, so you will flavor your bars with natural sweetness.
  2. Prepare the Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped dried fruits, Orgibite Hazelnuts, Walnuts and Pistachios with the oatmeal. Add the chia seeds, cinnamon and a pinch of salt and mix well.
  3. Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a separate small bowl, combine the peanut butter, melted coconut oil and optional honey or date syrup. This mixture creates the gooey substance that will hold the bars together. You can use honey or date syrup for natural sweetness without sugar, but you can skip this step if you prefer completely sugar-free.
  4. Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients: Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and mix everything well. The mixture should be sticky and firm.
  5. Spread the mixture on the tray: Pour the mixture onto a baking sheet lined with baking paper and smooth it with a spatula to form a layer about 1-1.5 cm thick. Press down lightly so that the mixture is well compacted.
  6. Cool and Slice: Place the mixture in the freezer or refrigerator for at least 1 hour. When the bars are firm, remove and slice into squares or rectangles with a sharp knife.
  7. Serve and Store: You can serve your bars immediately. You can store the leftover bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator to preserve their freshness for a long time.
