Hey friends!
It’s been about ten months since I last shared a recipe so I’m definitely overdue for another one. Today I’m sharing a go-to granola bar recipe that I’ve been making for years and absolutely love. It’s simple, no-bake and perfect to have on hand for a quick snack.
Makes: 6–8 granola bars Total Time: 15 minutes (+ chilling time)
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup almond butter
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 cup rolled oats*
- 1/2 cup chopped almonds
- 1/2 cup cranberries
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate *
Instructions:
- Line a small loaf tin or pyrex dish (approximately 15cm x 20cm) with non-stick baking paper.
- In a bowl, whisk together the almond butter and honey until smooth and well combined. Microwave for 15 seconds to soften, which helps the mixture come together more easily.
- Place the oats into a food processor and blend until they resemble a coarse flour.
- Roughly chop the almonds, cranberries and dark chocolate.
- Add the blended oats, almonds, cranberries and dark chocolate to the wet mixture and mix until evenly combined.
- Press the mixture firmly into the prepared tin, smoothing the top with the back of a spoon.
- Place in the fridge for at least 2 hours, or until set.
- Once firm, remove from the tin and slice into 6–8 bars, depending on how big or small you’d like them.
- Store in the fridge and enjoy for up to 7 days*.
Recipe Notes:
- If you want this recipe to be gluten-free, be sure to use certified gluten-free rolled oats.
- For a dairy-free option, use dairy-free dark chocolate.
- To extend the shelf life, store the bars in the freezer for up to 3 months. Remove and allow to soften slightly before enjoying.
I hope you enjoy making and eating these granola bars as much as I do. 😋 If you recreate this recipe, be sure to tag me as I love seeing your re-creations.
