Honey and Almond Protein Bars

Prep Time 15 minutes minutes

Servings 10 bars

Calories 200kcal

Ingredients

• 1½ cups rolled oats
• ½ cup Cairo Apiaries Raw Honey
• ½ cup almond butter (or your preferred nut butter)
• ½ cup almonds chopped
• ½ cup protein powder (vanilla or your choice of flavour)
• ½ tsp vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt

Instructions

• Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all the ingredients, ensuring that the almonds are roughly chopped. Line an 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) square baking dish with parchment paper.
• Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped almonds, protein powder, and a pinch of salt. Mix well and set aside.
• Warm Nut Butter and Honey: In a microwave-safe bowl or on the stovetop, gently warm the almond butter and Cairo Apiaries Raw Honey until they are easy to mix. This makes them easier to incorporate into the dry ingredients.
• Combine Wet Ingredients: Once the almond butter and honey are warm, stir in the vanilla extract. Mix until you have a smooth, well-combined wet mixture.
• Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Pour the warm honey and nut butter mixture over the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl. Stir until all the dry ingredients are well coated and the mixture starts to come together.
• Press into Pan: Transfer the mixture into the lined baking dish. Use a spatula or your hands to press it firmly and evenly into the pan.
• Chill and Set: Place the pan in the refrigerator for at least an hour to allow the bars to set. This will make them easier to cut.
• Cut into Bars: Once the mixture has set, remove it from the refrigerator and use a sharp knife to cut it into bars. You can make 10-12 bars, depending on your preferred size.
• Store or Enjoy: Store the Honey and Almond Protein Bars in an airtight container in the fridge for freshness. Grab one before your workout for an energy boost or enjoy it as a post-workout snack.

Note: Customize these bars by adding your favorite protein powder flavor or swapping out the almonds to suit your taste.

Prep Time 10 minutes minutes

Cook Time 30 minutes minutes

Total Time 40 minutes minutes

Servings 4

Ingredients

• 2 cans chickpeas
• 2 tbsp Cairo Apiaries Raw Honey
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• ½ tsp cumin ground
• ¼ tsp cayenne pepper ground
• ½ tsp salt

Instructions

• Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
• In a mixing bowl, combine Cairo Apiaries Raw Honey, olive oil, ground cinnamon, ground cumin, cayenne pepper (if using), and salt. Stir well to form a smooth mixture.
• Add the drained and rinsed chickpeas to the bowl with the honey and spice mixture. Toss until all the chickpeas are evenly coated.
• Spread the chickpeas out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are evenly spaced to allow for even roasting.
• Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the chickpeas for about 35-40 minutes, or until they become golden brown and crispy. Make sure to shake the pan or stir the chickpeas every 15 minutes to ensure even cooking.
• Once the chickpeas are roasted to perfection, remove them from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet. They will become crispier as they cool.
• Once cooled, transfer the honey-roasted chickpeas to an airtight container for storage or serve immediately. Enjoy as a tasty snack on their own or as a topping for salads, soups, or yogurt.
• Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. Note that the chickpeas may lose some of their crispness over time.
