  • use nut powders
  • use roasted chickpea flour
  • are gluten free
  • are vegan
  • are white sugar free
  • do not use ghee/butter or bad fats
  • are loaded with proteins, amino acids, good fat, and fiber
  • are instant too (I have followed the instant jaggery syrup hack )

Ingredients
1 cup measures- 240 ml
I have used homemade sprouted flours, if you do not have these handy, then you can replace them with store-bought ones. But then you need to dry roast both quinoa flour and amaranth flour.

1/4 cup of sprouted quinoa flour (homemade) Please check the video here to make sprouted quinoa and flour
 1/4 cup sprouted amaranth flour (homemade) - I will soon upload a video on how o make sprouted amaranth and flour
1/4 cup roasted almond powder (homemade)
 1/4 cup sattu atta (roasted black chickpea flour)
1/4 cup pistachio+sesame seed powder (homemade)

Process for instant energy bars gluten free

vegan gluten free energy bars

  • Add 3/4 cup of jaggery powder to a 2 or 3-liter pressure cooker
  • Add 2 tablespoon of water to the jaggery
  • Close the lid and pressure cook for 3 whistles for softer toffees/energy bars and 4 whistles for slightly tighter bars. I gave 4 whistles.
  • In a separate bowl, add 1/4 cup of sprouted quinoa flour, 1/4 cup sprouted amaranth flour, 1/4 cup roasted almond powder, 1/4 cup sattu atta (roasted chickpea flour) 1/4 cup pistachio+sesame seed powder
  • Release pressure manually and be careful with handling the cooker now.
  • Add the jaggery syrup to the dry ingredients. You can even add 1 tbsp of ghee to the mix. I did not.
  • Mix everything quickly.
  • Spread on a greased tray or aluminum foil.
  • Press with hands to flatten the dough.
  • You may use a heavy utensil to flatten.
  • Keep it covered for 30 minutes.
  • Cut into pieces
  • Spread a layer of sprouted amaranth on top. This is optional. You may even use toasted nuts.
  • Keep covered for 5-10 minutes.
  • Enjoy gluten-free energy bars or toffees.

In fact, all whole grains, including oats, contain phytates, which bind to minerals and make their absorption difficult for the body.  Soaking is the first step toward reducing anti-nutrients from millets. Soak for at least 6-8 hours to make digestion easier. Discard the soaked water and then proceed to the next step of cooking. Remove foam from top to reduce gassy elements from millets. why you should not eat millets unsoaked #shortsfeed #shortsvideo #shorts  Is it necessary to soak millets?
