No bake nut butter energy bars

I have gotten into the habit of making muffins, protein granola bars etc on Sundays for the week's worth of afternoon snacks! I have been making granola too but i haven't gotten around to making it yet and may wait until tomorrow night. I also made homemade tomato sauce (2 cans of cooked tomatoes, 3 cans of tomato paste, cooked up mushrooms, garlic and onions to add as well as extra lean ground beef. I then used an array of spices and when i say array i mean array. My sauce is never the exact same that way. A trick taught to me with both my mom's and dad's cooking). Now on to the granola bars.

1/2 cup agave nectar (i didn't have any and used honey)

2 tbsp coconut butter (found in the baking section i think or organic!

1 1/2 cup nut butter (i used 1 cup natural peanut butter and 1/2 cup almond butter

3 cups of oatmeal

2 scoops vanilla protein powder (i use hemp seed protein powder and only used one scoop because it's green and made the oatmeal a little green color, lol)

1/2 cup raisins, dried cranberries or coarsely chopped dried apple (i used a dark chocolate fair trade chocolate bar)

1/2 cups slivered almonds

1/2 cup sunflower seeds

1. Warm the agave nectar, coconut butter and nut butter in a sauce pan until ingredients are soft enough to combine easily when mixed. Remove from heat

2. Add oatmeal, protein powder and mix well. Then add dried fruits, almonds and seeds. Mix well.

3. Press into 9 inch square pan. Let cool in the fridge and cut into squares.

They are currently in the fridge. I will update later with a picture and say how they are!

Update:

OMG These are sooooo yummy! The chocolate really adds to it too!!!
