More often than not, my elder daughter skips breakfast as she leaves for school at 7:15 AM. Whenever she does so, I feel very regretful that I did not force her to eat. I know it is an upsetting situation for many parents, therefore to solve this problem I decided to make this speedy form of breakfast.
This is also an incredibly travel-friendly grab & go snack,whether it is on a plane or as simple as a short car, journey. This is a Vegan, Gluten free, Whole Food Plant based, Protein Rich, Kid friendly breakfast / snack for school or after school-time. Oh, mentioning this, have you seen my collection of after-school snacks?
My statement: “Involve your kids in cooking and see, how healthy their lifestyle will be in their future”.
For, they will be aware of the ingredients & effort put in. Start with this simple recipe to be joy-filled by your children’s merry, proud faces. The happy part is that it only has three ingredients and a baked one, so there is no need to babysit the stove! 🙂
Once I chopped the almonds, I was driven away by an young persistent chef (my younger daughter) who insisted like this…. “Amma (Mum), I will do the rest of the recipe, without any help….. you can tell me the instructions.”
So, I left her to finish the task, and as you see by the result below, she made them excellently. More than the bars, her accomplished smile was of more worth. 🙂 🙂 And, she will always be longing for these bars from now on. I will have to keep baking a constant supply! 😉

Step wise pics Procedure for Vegan Almond Energy Bars:
PREP WORK:
-
Firstly, line a baking pan / loaf pan with parchment paper and set it aside.
- Using a small knife, cut each almond length wise, into 2-3 pieces.
-
Switch the oven on at 325 F/ 162 C, to pre-heat before we place the tin.
MAKING:
Tips:
- You can use honey instead of Maple Syrup / Golden Syrup.
- If you are making these for toddlers, cut each almond into 5-6 pieces so that its easy for them to bite.
- Make sure that the baked pan, dries fully or else the bars might break.
- Before storing, wrap each bar with a fresh parchment paper so they don’t stick to each other.
- Store them in an air-tight container, so that they don’t turn hard in open air.
- Don’t store in fridge, but in the pantry shelf would do.
Result:
- These, Vegan Almond Energy Bars, were really good to taste and are handy enough as a ‘grab & go’ snack / breakfast.
- The syrup completely overlapped the other 2 ingredients, and makes the bars chewy in every bite.

Hi, just curious if we can use any nuts for adults ???
Hi Shraddha, yes you can use. Might be walnuts, but just check once in between. Walnuts are not thick skinned like almonds, so bake them for lesser time than mentioned.
