No-Bake Healthy Granola Bars
This healthy and sweet granola bar for breakfast is especially very easy to make since there is no need to bake the mix.
For those who want a gluten-free vegan version, just use gluten-free rolled oats and substitute the honey with agave or maple syrup.
Ingrediënten
- 1 cup of packed dates pitted
- ¼ cup honey
- ¼ cup creamy and salted natural butter peanut or almond
- 1 cup unsalted roasted almonds chopped loosely
- 1 ½ cups of rolled oats
- Add-ins: banana chips chocolate chips, nuts, dried fruit, vanilla, etc.
Instructies
- Add the dates in a food processor or blender and then mix for about 1 minute, until you get small bits, forming a dough-like consistency.
- Place the dates, oats, and almonds in a bowl.
- Mix and then set aside.
- In a small saucepan, warm the honey and the peanut butter on low heat.
- Stir the honey and peanut mix.
- Pour the date mix.
- Stir to break up the dates and disperse them thoroughly.
- Once the mixed is thoroughly combined, transfer to a small pan or an 8” by 8” dish lined with parchment paper or plastic wrap so you can easily lift the bars out when cooked.
- Press down on the mixture until you flatten them evenly.
- Cover with plastic wrap or parchment paper.
- Put in the freezer for about 15-20 minutes until the mixture hardens.
- Remove bars from the dish or the pan.
- Chop into 10 equal sized bars.
- You can store them in an airtight container for a few days and serve during very hectic mornings.
Notes / Tips / Wine Advice:
If you want a toasted tasted in your bar, then you can toast your oats for about 15 minutes in 350° F, or until golden brown.
