PURELY SIMPLE ENERGY SQUARES

April 5, 2019 | snacks, gluten-free

If you’re looking for something sweet after dinner or a quick snack on the go, these are perfect. The base is made from oats, coconut and almonds and there is no baking involved! Just mix, refrigerate and slice! I like them best cold, so I recommend storing in the refrigerator, but it’s not absolutely necessary.

They can also be stored at room temperature, but they are best eaten cold and will last longer.
