These are my go-to granola bars that taste better than most bars on the market. I love the texture and my kids eat them, which tells me a lot. They have simple ingredients and are easy to make. Some homemade baked goods are time consuming, but I can knock these out quickly.
I use certified gluten-free oats that aren’t over-processed or doused with glyphosate. You can experiment with variations such as nuts and raisins and create your own recipe. I almost always have these ingredients on hand, so I make them often.
Ingredients:
2 cups certified gluten-free oats (One Degree Organics brand)
1 Tbsp ground flax (optional)
1 tsp cinnamon
½ tsp salt
¼ cup nut butter (I use Kirkland’s natural peanut butter)
¼ cup honey (I’ve also used coconut sugar)
½ cup milk (rice milk)
1 tsp vanilla
Handful of chocolate chips
Instructions:
*Preheat oven to 350 degrees
*Spray an 8×8 glass pan with spray stick (Chosen Foods avocado oil)
*In a food processor, pulse oats until chopped and pour into medium sized bowl
*Add flax, cinnamon, and salt. Stir with a fork
*Include nut butter, honey, milk of your choice, and vanilla and stir
*Add a handful of chocolate chips and incorporate
*Spread into the greased pan and press down lightly with a fork
*Bake at 350 degrees for 18-20 minutes or lightly browned
These don’t have eggs in the recipe, so there’s no need to over-bake! Let me know how these turn out. Sign up for my free monthly newsletter by sending an email to [email protected]
