Confession: I love granola bars. So I don't buy them because I could plow through an entire box of them no problem. But every so often I WILL make some. To the delight and joy of my kids of course.
This recipe went over well, really if you throw cocoa powder into anything it will go over well. So here is the recipe. Enoy. Feel free to fiddle with your ingredient choices to customize them up for yourself.
EASY LOADED NO BAKE GRANOLA BARS
Mix together your DRY ingredients in a big bowl:
2 cups large flake oats
1/2 cup almond flour
1/4 cup pumpkin and sunflower seeds (feel free to use one or the other or both)
1/4 cup little seeds mix (I used Q'ia but feel free to use chia, or hemp, flax, or buckwheat or a combo)
1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1/2 cup raisins (you could use craisins or dried cherries or small cut dried apricots)
1/4 tsp salt
2 tbsp cocoa powder
Melt together your WET ingredients in a small pot:
1/4 cup coconut oil
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/3 cup creamy natural peanut butter
1 tsp vanilla
Mix your melted ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix well. Then press well into a pyrex dish.
Let them set in the fridge for a couple hours then cut and serve. The kids also liked them crumbled over their yogurt.
