I have not baked or cooked with amaranth before and I am intrigued by these bars - the texture on them is AH-MAZING - the flavors with the cocoa butter and coconut butter make me wanna sink my teeth into these!
All those good ingredients in this no-bake bar...love it, Angie!
Another fab and healthy recipe - well done :-)
Angie, you may not realize that these are the exact type of treats that is also great for people with 'diabetes'! My cousin was visiting me (also from Florida)...she just found out abt. her type 2 diabetes...after getting very ill, and I had to rush her to the ER at our local hospital! She is on meds now but must change her diet. These bars are amazing, and super delicious!
they look really beautiful, angie!
Lovely bars! Healthy and great for snacking!
Healthy, easy and delicious What else can I ask for?!! great job
healthy and yummy bar
You always have great, healthy snacks. I bet these would give a great mid day energy boost!
Ohh se ve muy delicioso y saludables me gustan muchooooooo,abrazos.
Love the idea of no-bake bars - I've popped amaranth once before, but haven't tried it in any recipes yet - great idea Angie!
Intriguingly interesting bars; their texture calls for a bite!
I have had Amaranth puff in my cupboard for a while not really knowing what to do with it. This recipe is awesome!
I am starting to learn cooking raw food and gluten free food for an alternative diet after my health crisis. Your blog has so much to offer and you are such an inspirational blogger! Thanks Angie!
I love using almond butter in recipes, I prefer the taste over peanut butter. I love that these are gluten free and vegan!
These bars look good! When I had first look I thought they are baked.
The cranberries are such a nice touch in these bars!
wow, completely new ingrediants for me
Your bars are giving me the feel good factor with all the healthy ingredients in them :)
Interesting & healthy bake! Love it ;)
Love your use of many different whole grains. I want to try amaranth and these nice thick bars, particularly!
I love all those ingredients, so how could this help but be delicious? Going to try this soon. Love that it's no bake too.
Angie, These look delightful and so yummy! Such a healthy snack!
Ooo I love how thick these are! And so easy to grab and go! I need more snacks / breakfast options like that!
Angie, you always make amazing bars too, look absolutely delicious:)
These look so tasty - I love using unusual grains more and more lately - definitely putting these on my "to-try" list! Thanks for a great recipe!
I need to fill my purse with these yummy bars! They'd certainly hit the spot when I'm running low on energy on a busy day!!!
I can't wait to give these a go --- we're flying cross country next week and I've been looking for something to make for the trip --- can't rely on getting ANYTHING good on board anymore :)
I love your take on healthy options! I'd like to make some soon, better munch on something healthy and delicious like these goodies :)
I love the idea of the two butters. These sound delicious!
What yummy bars! I don't think I have ever seen Amarath puffs before....
These are so healthy and nutritious and easy to make too!
I've never actually tried amaranth, but these look utterly delicious, and perfect for a snack on the run. I obviously need to add some of those ingredients to my shopping list.
Being a gardener I've heard of amaranth but never knew it was used in food! Another thing I will have to add to my list to look for :) Even though I don't know what it tastes like these bars look delicious with the almonds and cranberries.
I've never had anything like these bars before... I need to change that because they look and sound fantastic.
j'adore ce genre de gourmandise, je note
bonne soirée
yummy wonderfully done
That's a great looking bar Angie. So healthy n full of fibre. Love to have a few pieces of these morsels.
I like no bake recipes. They're fun to make with kids.
i don't think we have ever used amaranth! i appreciate you using a variety of ingredients for your recipes Angie! great ideas and very educational!
These sound wonderful, yummy, and healthy.
Love these energy bars and that you experiment with different grains and I especially like that no baking is involved!! Great recipe, Angie :)
Amaranth has become one of my new fave grains, but I haven't tried putting it in a bar yet. Great idea!
These bars look so delicious!! THe perfect granola bar substitute.
Angie,
So healthy and so practic to carry everywhere !
I am sure I would love them !
Cheers,
These look irresistible! Another wonderful healthy snack :)
I love some no bake bars, these look delicious and full of flavor!
Love this pretty and healthy bars, Angie! Never tried amaranth before, thank you for the inspiration:)

These look wonderful, I bet they taste delicious. GG
Lovely, lovely bars Angie!
These are gorgeous Angie! Can you believe I'm allergic to amaranth of all things? I don't know how I'd resist these!
Puffed Amaranth - another new one on me. These certainly look crunchy and just full of goodness. Great recipe Angie! Definitely love the addition of the dried cranberries.
cool i must try popping amaranth also is it small then not like popcorn
Anything no bake makes me happy. I have a bag of amaranth I purchased last summer and had yet to do something with. I've never used amaranth before. Now I can put it to good use!
These look so healthy and really tasty as well! I've never tried popped amaranth, but I'm intrigued.
Oh and these look so great to take to work!... Love them!
I loved the texture and the fancy look of the bars. They look gorgeous with the ruby red cranberries on them!!!
Elles ont drôlement l'air bonnes tes jolies barres:) Bon mardi!! xxx
Another brilliant recipe share angie. I would love to learn more about amaranth and its uses and great recipes such as your no bake bars are a great start in this direction.
i can;t believe these are no bake! They look amazing!
Beautiful bars, just feel like having some.
Healthy and delicious! Love these!
Oh my goodness, these bars look amazing!!
Looks delicious!
These bars look incredible Angie - I love the texture and how thick they are. I haven't tried using amaranth before but it sounds awesome in here - no bake makes these the perfect bars :)
These sound so good, great for breakfast.
Amaranth - now that is something that is still missing from my cupboard. I have had a package in my hand a few times, but always put it back down again. But now my curiosity really has been tickled!
Angie, these look crazy good!
I have a question, how do you puff Amaranth? Or do you buy it like this-)) I have amaranth flour and seeds, but nothing puffed-))
I love your recipe!
I have never used amaranth but it sounds great. I love any no bake desserts. They are all right up my alley. Great pictures :-)
Wow Angie, these bars look so pretty...and healthy too!
Have a wonderful week :D
Wish I had one of these bars to help me get over my cold. I think they might work, huh. Never had that amaranth, another item I need on my must true list. Hope you are having a good week.

healthy and delicious bars....as a matter of fact these are the best ones to choose for mid.noon snacks among all the recipes we have on hand,thanks so much for sharing :-)
I'm really getting into all of these healthy bars and slices. I have to admit, I find myself referring back to your recipes. You really nail it :)
@Yelena StrokinI popped my own amaranth. Use a heavy bottom saucepan and heat until very HOT. Add just enough amaranth to barely cover the bottom of the pot with a single layer. Shake that saucepan constantly. Once the popping slows down, immediately empty them into the bowl. They get burned very quickly.
I've never heard of Amaranth before. Sounds so healthy and delicious, wish I can have a piece right now :D
Those look so healthy and absolutely delicious!!!
Those look amazing! I need to start using Amaranth more often!
I'm always inspired by your recipes Angie and want to rush out to purchase the ingredients. I wish I had enough hours in my day to cook all your recipes. I haven't found one yet I wouldn't like to try. Thanks for sharing all of these.
even energy bars can be so delicious looking!
So unusual and so bursting with flavors! Very tasty!
I love these bars - so unique and healthy! And I swear I used to eat something like that as a kid! Oh, this post brought back some memories to me!
Dear Angie, These are beautiful and look quite delicious. Your display is so appetizing.
Blessings dear. Catherine xo
Love the ingredients in these! They look like the perfect nutrient dense snack or even grab and go breakfast.
Hi Angie,
Love amaranth! These bars look delicious. Love your photos too!
Love that they are no-bake. These would be healthy, delicious, and perfect in my lunch each day! I apologize for not responding on my post, if you want to exclude Irish whiskey from my Irish coffee bars, you could use more yogurt and applesauce, or use apple juice or oil instead:-) Hugs, Terra
I'm using puffed grains more and more. They're so versatile and useful in recipes like this -- a great bulking agent for bars that tastes great too. These look wonderful!
Wish I can have a taste of these little bars.
