Baked Paleo Nut Bars (Low Carb)

I love nutty bars from the shop – I really do. I love how crunchy they are, how satisfying they feel… but let’s be honest – they’re usually packed with sugar, glucose syrup, and a bunch of ingredients I can’t even pronounce. Not to mention, they’re pretty expensive for what they are.

But what if I told you that you could make your own version at home – just as delicious (maybe even better), using real, wholesome ingredients, with way less sugar and actually good for you?

Let me show you how.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups of mixed nuts (e.g., cashews, almonds, raw peanuts – any combination you like)
• 1 cup of seeds (e.g., pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds – your choice)
• ¼ cup maple syrup
  Important: Do not replace maple syrup with other syrups or honey – the bars will fall apart (tested!).

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 160°C (320°F), top and bottom heat.
2. Roughly chop large nuts for easier forming and slicing.
3. In a large bowl, mix the nuts, seeds, and maple syrup until everything is well coated and sticky.
4. Spoon the mixture into silicone moulds (like bar-shaped moulds from Amazon) and press down firmly with a spoon or your fingers to compact the mixture well.
5. Bake for about 30 minutes, or until lightly golden on top
6. Let cool completely inside the moulds – for at least one hour. The bars firm up as they cool.
7. Remove from moulds and store in an airtight container.
