homemade granola bars

The BEST Soft Granola Bars recipe - made with PB, honey, vanilla, oats, pretzels, peanuts (and any other add-ins you like). So easy and SUPER yummy!

The Best Soft Granola Bars

oats

twisted pretzels,

salted peanut halves

peanut butter (more as needed)

honey (more as needed)

vanilla

Toss the oats, crushed pretzels, and salted peanut halves together in a large bowl.

Stir the peanut butter, honey, and vanilla together in a separate bowl until smooth and creamy. Pour the mixture over the dry ingredients in the other bowl. Stir until combined.

Press the bar mixture into a 9&#215;9 inch pan lined with parchment paper (9&#215;13 will work &#8211; it will just yield wider, flatter bars). Freeze for 30 minutes. Pull out of the pan and cut into bars. Store bars individually wrapped in the freezer for quick grab-and-go snacks.

The granola bars look great. 
Word of caution from a food allergy momma, please be very mindful when eating nuts of any kind on an airplane. This is surprisingly dangerous for people with nut allergies - even nut residue (cross-contamination) or nut protein in the air can result in anaphylaxis. 
Thanks.

Any good granola bars without nuts/peanuts and more protein? I have not found a very good one, yet.

Soft Granola Bars &lt;3 x 1000
This is exactly what I needed! JUST told my husband I needed to find a good recipe for soft granola bars for our little road trip this weekend...we are on the same page even from CEBU!! 
Praying for you all over there...I would be the biggest wimp in that situation...cant believe those poor little orphanage sweeties have to deal with that all the time!!  Stay strong Lindsay and eat chocolate...pretty sure it helps ;)  Loving the Snapchat glimpses and cant wait to see what media fun you guys have up your sleeve!! It will be GOOD.

Hahaha, I just had to comment on your fear of earthquakes. What magnitude was the one in Cebu?

I feel pretty fortunate to live in an area that, yes, has earthquakes, but all the buildings are "prepared" for it. It would take a really large one to cause a lot of damage here. Another bonus - there are no 8-story buildings around here. All the locals are riled up because someone wants to build a 3-story building and it'll block the view of a local mountain from Downtown SLO. Things tend to stay pretty low to the ground around here :)

Best Soft Granola Bars

Healthy homemade granola bars that are gluten-free and paleo friendly! Have fun switching up the nuts and seeds for different variations.

Trail Mix Granola Bars

nuts (almonds, cashews, pecans, walnuts, etc)

coconut

cranberries

pepitas

chia seeds

sea salt

maple syrup

vanilla extract

Preheat

Preheat your oven to 325 degrees fahrenheit and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.

Stir

Add all of the nuts, seeds, dried fruit and salt to a mixing bowl and give it a stir.

In a separate small bowl, stir together the vanilla extract and maple syrup. Pour this on top of the nuts and stir everything together, until it&#039;s well coated.

Pour

Pour the mixture into the baking pan and use the back of a large spoon or spatula to flatten it into one layer.

Bake

Bake for 30-35 minutes, then cool for one hour in the pan.

Cool &amp; Slice

Once the granola bars are fully cooled, slice them into bars. I slice then entire portion in half, then divide each half into six bars, for 12 total granola bars.

These easy, healthy homemade trail mix granola bars will beat store-bought versions any day!

Homemade granola bars are quick &amp; easy to make at home, and require only 4 simple ingredients! You can make them in just minutes, and add any extras you like to customize the flavor.

Best Homemade Granola Bars

old-fashioned rolled oats ((use certified gluten-free if needed.))

peanut butter

honey (,

sea salt ((optional))

chocolate chips

raisins cranberries

almonds

This recipe moves fast, so measure everything out before you get started. Pour the oats into a large bowl and set it aside. Lightly spray an 8-inch square pan with oil and press a square of parchment paper into the bottom. (The oil will hold the parchment paper in place, so it doesn&#039;t move around later.)

In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, bring the honey to a boil. Set a timer and allow the honey to boil for 1 minute, without stirring.

Remove from the pan of honey from the heat and stir in the peanut butter and salt. As soon as the mixture is smooth, pour it over the oats.

Use a spatula to stir quickly, coating the oats evenly with the peanut butter mixture. It will harden as it cools, so it may become difficult to stir as it cools down.

Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan, and press it very firmly into the bottom. Sprinkle any optional toppings over the top, if desired, then press the toppings into the bars. (The chocolate chips will melt if you press them into the warm bars, so I usually prefer to drizzle melted dark chocolate over the top after they have cooled, instead.)

As soon as the mixture is cool and firm to the touch, use the parchment paper to lift the bars out of the pan and slice them into 12 pieces. These granola bars can be kept at room temperature for 3-5 days, or in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 month. You can also freeze them for up to 6 months if you&#039;d like to make a larger batch. They can thaw overnight in the fridge.

Homemade granola bars taste better than the kind you'd buy at the store, and you can make them in just minutes! All you need is 4 simple ingredients, plus any add-ins you might want to include.

These peanut butter granola bars are naturally sweetened with honey, which gives them a lightly chewy texture, but you can use maple syrup, if you need a vegan granola bar. If you need a nut-free snack for school, use tahini or sunflower butter instead of the peanut butter. 

They make a great healthy snack on-the-go!

The Best Homemade Granola Bars (only 4 ingredients!)

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.

Simple, Soft and Chewy Granola Bars

(230 grams) old fashioned rolled oats

(80 grams) whole almonds, coarsely chopped

(113 grams) honey

(56 grams) unsalted butter,

(50 grams) packed light brown sugar

salt

(60 grams) dried cranberries, coarsely chopped

yum. Very sweet. I had to cut into like 20 small squares but I guess they wouldn't stay together without the sweet ingredients. Thanks.

this turned out so good and they taste awesome. but dont put the cranberry in it is not the best with cranberry. but really good!

Simple, soft and chewy granola bars recipe that's delicious as-is or can be adapted based on your favorite dried fruits, nuts or chocolate.

How to Make Soft and Chewy Granola Bars - Homemade Granola Bar Recipe

The base recipe for 8 easy homemade granola bar recipes that come together in a snap. Variations include peanut butter chocolate, M&amp;M, Sweet and Salty, and more!

Base Granola Bar Recipe

old fashioned rolled oats

nuts, roughly chopped

honey

unsalted butter

brown sugar

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9-inch square baking dish with parchment or foil and lightly spray with cooking spray.

Place the oats and nuts on a rimmed baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes until lightly toasted.

While the oats are toasting, add the honey, butter, and brown sugar to a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat until the butter melts and the sugar dissolves, stirring constantly. Let the mixture bubble, while stirring, for 1 minute and then remove from the heat.

Stir in the vanilla and salt to the butter mixture. Pour this mixture over the oat and nut mixture and stir to combine. Add any extra ingredients (except for chocolate) and stir to combine. Make sure none of the oats are dry.

If you are adding chocolate, wait about 15 minutes for the mixture to cool a bit before adding the chocolate and then stirring to combine.

Place all of the oat mixture in the prepared pan. Use a rubber spatula or the bottom of a greased measuring cup to press the mixture into the pan. Press it in very firmly, this is what makes the bars stick together.

Chill the granola bars for at least 2 hours. Lift the bars from the pan using the edges of the foil or parchment and place them on a cutting board. Cut into desired shape/sizes and serve.

Store in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to 10 days. If you are stacking the granola bars place a piece of parchment between the layers to help prevent sticking.

I Heart Naptime - Granola Bars

These homemade granola bars are a quick and delicious, and naturally gluten-free! If you want to change the mix-ins, see the post above for my tips on how to do it. These are on the sweet side, if you&#x27;re looking for a less-sweet treat, try these Energy Balls.

peanut butter or cashew butter

mini chocolate chips*

Line an 8x8 baking pan with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, stir together the peanut butter, honey, vanilla, and salt, until smooth.

Add the oats, chocolate chips and the pepitas (or nuts). The mixture might seem dry at first, but keep stirring and it&#x27;ll come together. Stir to combine and press firmly into the pan. Use a second piece of parchment paper and the back of a measuring cup to help flatten the mixture. Chill for at least 1 hour, then slice into bars.

Store bars in the fridge.

These easy Homemade Granola Bars are made with oats, nuts, honey, and a little bit of chocolate for good measure!

(238 grams) old fashioned oats

(34 grams) whole cashews, (coarsely chopped)

(34 grams) whole almonds, (coarsely chopped)

(111 grams) honey

(67 grams) light brown sugar, (lightly packed)

fine sea salt ((See Note 1))

(28 grams) toasted coconut flakes, (optional)

(82 grams) miniature chocolate chips, (divided)

PREP: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or a silpat liner. Line a separate 8x8 inch pan (thicker bars) or 9x9 inch pan (thinner bars) with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.

TOAST OATS AND NUTS: Add the oats to the sheet pan. Coarsely chop the cashews and almonds and add to the pan. Bake for 2-3 minutes, stir around, and bake for another 2-3 minutes or until lightly toasted and fragrant. Remove and allow to slightly cool.

SYRUP MIXTURE: Meanwhile, cut the butter into small cubes. Add the honey, butter, brown sugar, and salt to a mediu- sized saucepan and place over medium heat. Stir constantly until the mixture is completely smooth and sugar is fully dissolved. Remove immediately from the heat (do not simmer or boil mixture).

BARS: In a large bowl, combine the toasted oat and nut mixture with the coconut flakes. Pour the syrup mixture over the bars and add in the vanilla extract. Stir well, until all the oats and nuts are coated in the syrup mixture. Let cool for a few minutes and then add in 1/4 cup of the chocolate chips. They will get a little melty and that&#039;s intentional to hold the bars together well.

CHILL: Transfer the mixture into the prepared pan and use a silicone spatula to compress the bars. Take your time and press them very firmly (this is important to avoid crumbling later on). Once the mixture is evenly pressed down, add the remaining 1/4 cup chocolate chips and press those gently to adhere to the top of the bars. Cover the pan and place in the fridge for at least 1 hour and up to 3 before cutting into bars.

CUT BARS: Using the parchment paper overhang, pull the bars out of the pan and use a sharp knife to cut into 12 evenly sized bars.

STORAGE: Store the bars in an airtight container. Refrigerate for firmer bars and leave at room temperature for softer bars (we love these bars straight out of the fridge!). Granola bars are best enjoyed within 7 days. Freeze leftover bars for up to 3 months.

We like to have these granola bars as a snack or toddler breakfast with milk or a smoothie—and they&#039;re an excellent lunch box component too. You can make them plain or choose a flavor to add!

Easy Homemade Granola Bars

rolled oats

whole-wheat flour

cinnamon

baking powder

water

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat. Warm the honey and peanut butter for about 15 seconds if not stored at room temperature.

Place the oats and coconut into the bowl of a food processor and blitz to grind into a coarse texture (similar to quick oats).

Add the remaining ingredients, including the peanut butter and honey, and blend well.

(You can also grind the oats or use instant oats, then mix everything together in a bowl.)

Add ¼ cup water and blend until batter comes together like thick cookie dough. You should be able to press the batter together between your fingers and have it stick together. If it doesn&#39;t, add a bit more water.

Place batter onto the center of the prepared baking sheet and use your hands to press thin, about ¼-½-inch thick and about 8x8-inches big. I measure roughly using an 8x8-inch baking pan. (You can also roll out the dough—just cover it with a piece of parchment paper first to make sure it&#39;s easy to do.) Use a knife to lightly score lines for squares in whatever size you like.

Bake for 18-20 minutes, remove from oven, and let cool completely on the pan.

Break into squares and serve.

Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks in the fridge or a week at room temperature. To freeze, place cooled bars in a sealed zip top freezer bag for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before serving.

The best part about these granola bars is that they&#039;re loaded with simple ingredients, require no baking and no eggs - perfect for meal prep!

Honey Oat Granola Bars

almonds (chopping optional)

flaxseed

Preheat oven to 350°F and line a rimmed half baking sheet with parchment paper.

Spread the oats and chopped almonds in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet and bake until light brown and smelling toasty, stirring regularly, about 10-15 minutes.

Line an 8” x 8” baking pan with parchment paper.

While the oats and almonds are toasting, combine the honey, brown sugar, and butter in a heavy-bottomed medium saucepan over medium heat and stir until melted. Stir in salt, cinnamon, and vanilla, then fold in the toasted oats mixture and ground flaxseed until evenly distributed.

Scrape into prepared baking pan and spread out. Use a piece of parchment paper to press down and level out the mixture to the edges.

Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours. Once solid, lift from the pan using the parchment paper, and use a very sharp knife to cut into 12 granola bars.

Vegan Chewy Granola Bars Recipe (3 Ways!)

½ cups One Degree Organics Sprouted Quick Oats

cups One Degree Organics Sprouted Brown Rice Crisps

¾ cup nut or seed butter*

liquid sweetener*

coconut sugar

Chocolate Chip: ¼ cup dairy-free mini chocolate chips

dairy-free mini chocolate chips + 3 tablespoons of chopped vegan marshmallows

Preheat the oven to 350F and line a 9&#215;9&#8243; baking tin with parchment paper. Add the oats and rice cereal to a large bowl and mix until evenly combined.

Add the nut butter, liquid sweetener, coconut sugar, and vanilla extract to a separate, smaller bowl. Microwave for 20 &#8211; 30 seconds to loosen the mixture, then stir until well-combined. Pour the wet mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients and use a spatula to mix everything together. You may eventually need to use your hands to really get in there.

Fold in any additional toppings or bar flavors, if you are using them. Firmly press the granola bar mixture into the lined baking tin, then bake in the middle rack of the oven for 6 to 8 minutes. Remove the tin from the oven and let cool completely before removing and slicing into bars.

Serve as desired; leftovers will keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.

Hi! :) 
I got one question: Do you use unsalted peanut? Thank you for the delicious recipe!

Taste is great! Instructions were easy to follow. My bars did crumble even after pressing them, putting them in a 8x8 pan, and baking for the full time. I still enjoyed them, but may need more wet ingredients to hold it together. May just use it as cereal instead. :)
