This recipe for Paleo Breakfast Bars is an amended version of a recipe I posted in 2009. I have rewritten this recipe for several reasons.

First, although a number of people swore by it, others commented that the bars came out crumbly for them. Second, although the original recipe was grain-free, it was not Paleo as it contained grapeseed oil and agave.

In any event, this simple gluten-free homemade breakfast bar recipe is a favorite in our house as it is easy to pack for a hike and delicious enough to serve as a healthy dessert. I also serve it to the boys as a Paleo after school snack –their friends love it and eat a whole dish at a time, however they refer to these as granola bars or power bars.

Last week I had the good fortune to pop into New York to do some pre-publicity for my new book, Paleo Cooking from Elana’s Pantry. I met with several magazine editors and appeared on Fox News Live with the very engaging interviewer John Hunt, and I spoke extensively about the Paleo Diet. Here is the video.

Just a reminder, my book Paleo Cooking from Elana’s Pantry will be published early this summer, on June 18th, 2013.

  1. Thank you so much for a wonderful recipe! I didn’t use pumpkin seeds or raisins as mine were past date and I used a little less honey with a teeny bit of vanilla stevia. The batter was delicious as well as the bars after being baked! Yum! Thanks again! :)

  4. Elaina I love your recipes. I recently discovered your cookbooks and web site. A silly question for you, in this Paleo Breakfast bar recipe, do you melt the coconut oil? Thank you for all the inspiration!
