Directions 

The process for creating Maqui Berry No-Bake Bars starts with stirring together nut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla until smooth, then folding in oats, coconut, chia seeds, and MaquiOrganic powder until the mixture holds its shape. You press the mixture firmly into a lined pan, smoothing the top so the bars chill evenly. The bars firm up in the refrigerator, allowing you to slice them cleanly once set. You can store them in the fridge for several days so they stay cool, flavourful, and ready whenever you need a quick option.

Recipe Notes

Pressing the mixture firmly into the pan ensures clean slices and a consistent texture. Allowing enough chill time helps the bars hold their shape without crumbling.
A scoop of MaquiOrganic 100% maqui berry powder reinforces the natural purple colour and ties the flavours together.
