Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Gluten-free rolled oats
- 1 cup Chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts, or pecans)
- 0.5 cup Mixed seeds (sunflower, chia, or flax seeds)
- 0.5 cup Dried fruit (raisins, cranberries, or chopped dates)
- 0.5 cup Peanut butter (or almond butter)
- 0.33 cup Honey (or maple syrup)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a square 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free rolled oats, chopped nuts, mixed seeds, dried fruit, cinnamon, and salt.
In a small saucepan over low heat, warm the peanut butter and honey together until they are fully combined and smooth. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Pour the peanut butter mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir well with a spatula to evenly coat all the ingredients.
If using chocolate chips, let the mixture cool slightly to avoid melting, then fold them in gently.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking pan. Use the back of a spoon or your hands to press it down firmly and evenly into the pan.
Bake for 5 minutes at 350°F (175°C) to set the bars. If you prefer softer bars, you can skip this step.
Let the granola bars cool completely in the pan for at least 30 minutes. Use the parchment paper to lift them out of the pan.
Cut the set mixture into 8 even bars. Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or in the fridge for up to two weeks.
