NO BAKE GRANOLA BARS

Great quick and easy granola bar recipe that kids can make. Perfect to throw in lunches or in your purse for travel. You can also add 1/4 cup wheat germ without changing the consistency. Change up the dried fruit, nuts, and chocolate for different flavors. I generally keep the bars in the refrigerator until I am ready to eat them, but these keep well to take to work or school.

These chewy granola bars were adapted from recipe #73754 from Kittencal. My changes were to add coconut, dates, and walnuts. I also used butterscotch chips in place of chocolate chips. You'll see that your own options are endless - just substitute the ingredients that your family prefers!

Time 20m

Yield 18 bars

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 1/2 cups Rice Krispies
2 cups quick-cooking oats
1/2 cup dates, chopped or 1/2 cup any dried fruit
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped or 1/2 cup almonds
1/2 cup sweetened coconut
1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup corn syrup
1 tablespoon molasses (optional)
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup butterscotch chips or 1/2 cup chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Prepare a 9x13 pan with non-stick spray.
  • In a large bowl, mix all dry ingredients so they are ready for the hot sugar mixture.
  • In a sauce pan, make sugar mixture. Combine brown sugar, corn syrup and optional molasses; bring to a full boil and allow to boil 1 MINUTE. Turn down heat and add peanut butter and vanilla, stirring quickly until smooth.
  • Work quickly - pour the hot sugar mixture over dry ingredients and use two wooden spoons to thoroughly combine ingredients. Stir in chips LAST so they don't melt in the hot mixture.
  • Press mixture very firmly into prepared pan. Keep pressing down until your bars are dense in order to keep them from crumbling later when you cut them.
  • When cool, use a sharp knife to cut into 18 bars (1 cut lengthwise and then 9 cuts across).

Tips:

  • Use a variety of oats. This will give your granola bars a more complex flavor and texture. You can use rolled oats, quick oats, or steel-cut oats.
  • Don't overcook the oats. If you overcook the oats, they will become mushy and your granola bars will be too soft. Cook the oats until they are just tender.
  • Use a sticky sweetener. This will help to hold the granola bars together. You can use honey, maple syrup, or agave nectar.
  • Add some nuts and seeds. This will give your granola bars some extra crunch and flavor. You can use almonds, walnuts, pecans, sunflower seeds, or chia seeds.
  • Press the granola bars firmly into the pan. This will help them to hold together better.
  • Chill the granola bars before cutting them. This will make them easier to cut and will help them to hold their shape.

Conclusion:

These chewy no-bake granola bars are a delicious and healthy snack that is perfect for on-the-go. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a snack that is both nutritious and satisfying.
