chewy granola bars

The perfect on-the-go snack – these Vegan Granola Bars are hearty, healthy and completely satisfying. They are easy to make, require simple ingredients, and you don’t even have to bake them!

Vegan Granola Bars

rolled oats ((gluten-free if preferred))

quick oats

puffed rice cereal

almonds

cranberries ((sub raisins, cherries, goji berries, etc.))

sunflower seeds

medjool dates

almond butter ((or preferred nut butter))

maple syrup ((sub agave or coconut nectar))

vanilla extract

cinnamon

non-dairy chocolate chips

Line an 8x8 baking pan with parchment paper and set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, mix the rolled oats, quick oats, puffed rice, cranberries, sunflower seeds and almonds.

Process the dates in a food processor until they are broken down into a sticky paste. Leave the paste in the processor.

In a small pot, over medium-low heat, whisk the almond butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and cinnamon together. Heat until the mixture is well combined, softened and slightly runny (1-3 minutes). Stir often to prevent burning.

Now add the warmed mixture to the food processor with the dates. Process until fully combined, scraping down sides as needed.

Pour the almond and date mixture over the dry mixture and combine well using a spatula.

Wait for the mixture to cool for a few minutes before adding the chocolate chips so they don&#039;t melt. Stir to combine.

Now evenly spread the mixture into the baking pan. Press down firmly to ensure the bars will hold together. You can use a jar to roll over the mixture as you press down. Firmly press the edges too with a spatula.

Place in the freezer for about 1 hour to firm up. Cut into 12 even bars.

These homemade granola bars are so much better than what you can buy at the store, especially since you can substitute for your favorite dried fruit or nuts. While these are very simple to make, there is a 2-hour wait for the bars to firm up enough to cut. Feel free to add your favorite dried fruit, nuts or chocolate to these &#8211; it’s completely up to you. Since we use a 1/3 cup of honey, we like to splurge on higher quality honey.
