simple no-bake nuts & seeds energy bar / brittle recipe

By: Rabia

Ingredients

  • 1 cup mixed nuts (almonds, peanuts, cashews, walnuts – chopped)

  • ½ cup mixed seeds (pumpkin, sunflower, sesame, flax)

  • ¼ cup dried fruit (raisins, cranberries, chopped dates – optional)

  • ⅓ cup honey or jaggery syrup

  • 1 tbsp coconut oil or butter

  • ½ tsp vanilla (optional)

  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Dry roast nuts & seeds
    Heat a pan on low flame and dry roast nuts first, then seeds, until lightly golden and fragrant. Set aside.

  2. Prepare the syrup
    In the same pan, add honey (or jaggery syrup) and coconut oil.
    Heat on low, stirring until it bubbles slightly and thickens (about 2–3 minutes).

  3. Mix everything
    Add roasted nuts, seeds, dried fruits, salt, and vanilla to the syrup.
    Mix quickly so everything is well coated.

  4. Shape
    Transfer mixture onto parchment paper or a greased tray.
    Press firmly using a spatula or another sheet of parchment.

  5. Cut & set
    While warm, cut into squares or round shapes.
    Let it cool completely (or refrigerate 20–30 minutes) until firm.

Storage

  • Store in an airtight container

  • Keeps 1 week at room temp or 2–3 weeks refrigerated

Tips

  • For extra crunch, cook syrup slightly longer

  • For softer bars, reduce cooking time

  • You can roll them into energy balls instead of bars
