A few simple ingredients is all you need to make these coconut chocolate cashew bars – and they’re most likely items you already have in your pantry! Delicious snacks don’t have to be complicated. Homemade energy bars are so versatile because all you need is a few key ingredients.

These bars are made with siggi’s 2% coconut yogurt, which to be honest is my favorite flavor out of their entire line. It’s high in protein, lower in sugar, and super creamy with just enough (real!) coconut! I like to add it into baked energy bars for extra protein to make them a little more satisfying.

I used cashew butter as a base in these energy bars, but feel free to swap out for almond or peanut butter. It holds the rest of the ingredients-like oats and flaxseed-together to make everything taste like a dreamy dessert bar, but with more nutritious ingredients.

And let’s not forget about the toppings or the texture: a dark chocolate layer for the soul plus extra cashews and coconut for the crunch. I recommend pre-making these and stocking them up in the freezer so that there’s always a good snack option around when you need a bite. Wholesome enough as a snack, a breakfast bar, or as a dessert!
