If you’ve been following me for a while, you know I’m all about easy, wholesome treats that taste amazing. And these No-Bake Chocolate Hemp Nut Butter Bars check all the boxes! They’re rich, nutty, perfectly chocolatey, and made with nourishing ingredients like hemp hearts, almond flour, and nut butter. The best part? No oven is required!
This recipe has recently become one of my go-to’s because it’s ridiculously simple yet so satisfying. Whether I need a quick snack between meals, a little post-workout fuel, or a healthier after-dinner treat, these bars always hit the spot. Plus, Vienna and Walker love them too, so they never last long in our house!
Why You’ll Love These Bars
I’ve been making these on repeat because they’re:
- Loaded with nutrition – Hemp hearts boost protein, omega-3s, and minerals, making these bars super nourishing.
- Naturally sweetened – A touch of maple syrup is all you need for the perfect sweetness.
- Almond flour & coconut flour – Nutrient-rich alternative to refined flour, adding healthy fats and fibre to keep you feeling full and support digestive wellness.
- Nut butter – The perfect creamy base, packed with protein and healthy fats to keep energy levels stable.
- No baking is required! – Just mix, press, top with melted chocolate, and freeze. It doesn’t get easier than that!
I love keeping a stash of these in the freezer for a quick snack, a post-workout bite, or a healthy dessert when I’m craving something sweet. Vienna and Walker love them too, so they never last long in our house!
A Snack for Every Occasion
One of the reasons I love this recipe so much is that it’s so versatile! These bars are perfect for:
- A quick and nutritious snack when you're on the go.
- A post-workout bite to refuel with protein and healthy fats.
- A healthy dessert when you’re craving something sweet but still want to nourish your body.
- An afterschool treat for your kids when they are ravenous (when are they NOT hungry at school pick-up, ha!)

I've been keeping a batch in the freezer so I can grab one whenever I need a little pick-me-up. And honestly, they’re so good that I usually end up sneaking a bite before they’ve even fully set! 😆

Did you use almond, cashew or peanut butter? If you've tried all 3 which one did you find the best?
ReplyI liked cashew butter the best! I've done all 3. My hubby of course loved peanut butter.
This was delicious! My husband and son loved it and there’s not much left ! :)
ReplyA sign of a well-loved treat ;)
They are amazing! Thank you and yes I had a piece before set too!
ReplyHaha, too funny. Glad to hear you love them!
Is there anything I can use to sub the almond flour?? These look delicious! but sensitive to almonds :/
ReplyYou could try oat flour, you may need to adjust the coconut oil a bit to make it stick.
