NATURAL NO-BAKE PEANUT BUTTER ENERGY BARS.
This is a bar recipe I found on a health and fitness site. The original recipe made it a protein bar, but when I made it (ages ago) I didn't have any so I left it out. If you want to make it a protein bar simply add 2 cups of protein powder and add an extra 1/2 cup of honey. This is a good bar for straight after an intense workout, but it tastes like a dessert so even if you're not active you can make it just as a snack bar or treat.

Steps:
- Mix peanut butter, oatmeal, sunflower seeds, raisins, and honey.
- Roll mixture into balls.
- Mix equal amounts of flax seeds and wheat germ in a bowl and roll the balls in this mixture (optional).
- Let balls sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- Additional Notes:
- You can make some substitutions with the ingredients. For example, substitute the raisins for chocolate chips or chopped nuts instead of sunflower seeds. There are many possibilities, just be careful and keep the ratios consistent.
- Also, I used natural peanut butter which caused my mixture to be more dry. If this is the case add a little milk; about 1/2 tablespoon at a time.

- Add natural sweeteners, such as honey or maple syrup: This will help to sweeten the bars without adding refined sugar.
- Press the bars firmly into the pan: This will help to prevent them from crumbling.
- Chill the bars for at least 30 minutes before cutting: This will help them to set properly.
