Great kelp recipe and

the health benefits of kelp!

Kelp energy bars

 

Since our friend Rosalee moved in with us, Kelp Energy Bars have become our

new favorite family treat and kelp recipe.

Rosalee brought the kelp recipe to us from Karen Sherwood at Earthwalk

Northwest. She made a batch at our house, and we have been snacking on them

ever since.

I’ve even made them and brought them to a couple of different parties,

where

the guests have raved about them.

So, how do you make these delicious, healthy concoctions?

Well, you will need: ½ oz. of kelp (Nereocystis) fronds, 2 cups of almonds,

hazelnuts, or sesame seeds, and ½ cup of maple (or birch) syrup to make this

kelp recipe.

How to make this tasty kelp recipe...

• The first step is to powder the kelp fronds in a blender. Then add your

nuts or seeds and grind them together with the kelp. You’ll end up with a

nicely mixed, coarsely ground blend, which you then pour into a bowl.

 

• Next, add the syrup and stir it into the nut mixture.

 

• Spread the mixture onto an oiled cookie sheet, pressing it out until it

is

about 1/4” thick.

 

• Bake at 325 degrees for 20 minutes. Cut into squares while still

slightly

warm.

 

• Cool completely and then just try and stop eating them…

 

(One tip from an experimental cook: I tried this kelp recipe with honey and

though the bars were still tasty, they spread over the whole cookie sheet,

and so were very thin. With syrup they hold together much better.)
