Savannah’s Tips for the Best Nut Butter + Seed Crunch Bars
- Microwave your almond butter for 20–30 seconds if it’s too stiff to stir. Trust me.
- Press hard. You want firm, dense bars that don’t fall apart mid-bite.
- Swap smart: Sub slivered almonds with chopped pecans or walnuts if you want a softer crunch. Add cacao nibs if you’re feeling fancy.
Why These Ingredients Work
Almond butter brings the good fats. Hemp hearts sneak in extra protein. Slivered almonds deliver that crunch without the dental hazard of pumpkin seeds. Chia seeds add fiber to keep you full (and regular — let’s be real). It’s the trifecta of flavor, function, and texture.
Make It Your Way
- Swap almond butter for peanut or macadamia butter
- Use chopped pecans or walnuts instead of slivered almonds
- Stir in cacao nibs or a dusting of cinnamon for extra punch
- Leave out coconut if you’re not a fan — add more seeds to balance
Storage Instructions for Nut Butter + Seed Crunch Bars
Keep these bars in the fridge for everyday snacking or freeze them for longer storage. They soften at room temp but don’t fall apart — perfect for on-the-go energy.
Savannah’s Tip: Wrap bars individually and toss them in your work bag, gym tote, or purse for snack insurance.
Smart Snacking Strategy
These bars are my daily shield against hanger and dumb food choices. One with a cup of coffee mid-morning, or as a 3 p.m. reset when the vending machine starts whispering to me. High fat, low carb, big win.
