Easy granola bar recipe

Making your own granola bars at home could not be easier, and this recipe gives you tons of options to suit your family’s personal dietary needs.

Can’t have peanut butter? Make the DIY granola bars with almond butter, sunbutter, coconut butter, or a regular butter spread.

Change up the flavor by throwing in a handful of mini chocolate chips, chia seeds, crushed cereal (for crunchy granola bars), or dried fruit such as raisins, cranberries, or banana.

Use pure maple syrup, honey, or agave for the sweetener and whatever flour you wish (if using coconut flour, only use enough to achieve a cookie-dough-like batter).

You can even replace some of the flour with protein powder!

Make it a complete breakfast by serving the bars with an Avocado Smoothie, Strawberry Smoothie, or a homemade Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie.

How to make granola bars

Combine all of your ingredients in a large mixing bowl.

Stir everything together until well-mixed, then transfer to an 8-inch pan lined with wax paper or parchment paper.

Place a second sheet of wax or parchment on top, spreading the mixture evenly into the pan until it fills the bottom.

For no bake granola bars, simply refrigerate or freeze until firm. Otherwise, preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit, and bake on the oven’s center rack for 12 minutes.

Cut into bars or squares.
