Easy Vegan Chocolate Energy Bars

oh my gosh, give me alllll of the Easy Vegan Chocolate Energy Bars! they’re the BEST snack to take on the go and store in the freezer. with minimal and real ingredients like dates and Sacha Inchi Seed Butter, you can’t go wrong in terms of taste or texture.

this post is sponsored by Brass Roots. all opinions and recipes are my own. thank you to my amazing sponsors and community for supporting my brand!

ah, so if you read the top, you might just be wondering, what is Sacha Inchi Seed Butter? my friends over at Brass Roots provide us with some really great information that you can read below!

1. HISTORY: cultivated by the indigenous people of Peru for
   centuries (which is why it is nicknamed the “Incan Peanut”)
2. NUT FREE: it may act like a nut, but it’s actually a seed, so
   there’s NO peanut or tree nut allergens (that means kid friendly + safe for schools!)
3. SUSTAINABILITY: sustainably cultivated and harvested
   because the seeds grow in regions with naturally high rainfall
4. HIGH PROTEIN: contains up to 9 grams of complete protein
   per serving (there are only a few plant-based complete
   proteins out there, so we are very proud to be one of them!)
5. OMEGA 3s: ~50% of the fat in Sacha Inchi seeds comes in the
   form of the Omega-3 fatty acid Alpha-Linolenic acid
6. HIGH FIBER: contains 6 grams of fiber per serving, making
   them a powerful prebiotic and a tool in maintaining gut health

it tastes SO GOOD in my opinion. it’s definitely different and not something like i’ve ever tasted before but really delicious.

Sacha Inchi Butter is easily spreadable and has a more runny consistency yet super creamy at the same time. i would equate the texture to crunchy peanut butter but more runny.

it’s just perfect for no bake treats, to spread on toast, dip apples in and just about everything else snack related.

i used a bread loaf pan to make the bars and just cut them into squares since they’re pretty thick! you could also use an 8 x 8 inch cake pan!

to make Easy Vegan Chocolate Energy Bars, you’re just going to need the following!

• oats

• medjool dates

• Brass Roots Sacha Inchi Seed Butter

• sunflower seeds

• oat milk

• peanut and tree nut free chocolate chips (enjoy life is great)

also, this is very cool, we’re hosting a huge giveaway, which you probably already saw on IG! there are three tiers and the prizes are AMAZING.

so, one lucky person will win a YEAR’s supply of Brass Root’s Sacha Inchi Seed Butter (12 jars) AND a $50 gift card to Sprouts, which is where you can purchase Brass Roots products. you can pick which flavors you want and how many of each!

if that’s not the best prize ever, idk what is lol. honestly, i envy whoever is going to win that! since it’s organic, gluten-free, low sugar, and high-protein to name a few, Sacha Inchi Butter has got it going on.

the second tier of giveaway winners will win a sample pack (3 flavors) of Sacha Inchi Seed Butter. don’t worry though, if you don’t win, you will still get 20% off when the giveaway closes, which is amazing!
