Dark Chocolate Energy Bars with Chia and Flax RecipeIf you are looking for a high-protein, high-calorie, high-energy recipe for your active lifestyle– these are the bars for you! The dark chocolate, raisins and maple syrup make sure they taste delicious, while the chia seeds, flax meal and hemp hearts provide a sustained energy. I used Sunbutter since Ben is allergic to peanuts and tree nuts, but you can sub almond butter, peanut butter or any other nut butter of your choice.

If the bars seem too chewy, simply bake them slightly longer. This recipe by inspired by Ben’s love of Clif bars. I was originally looking to create a Clif bar copycat recipe, but it evolved into something even better!
