Steps:

  • To make each Homemade Granola Bar Recipe:
  • Combine dates, honey, nut butter or nuts, and coconut oil in food processor or high-powered blender (such as Vitamix or Blendtec). If you want to blend the oats into a flour-type consistency, add to food processor. If you want hearty oats (like a granola bar), stir in oats when you add mix-ins.
  • Pulse mixture until smooth.
  • Place mixture into a bowl and stir in remaining mix-in ingredients.
  • Press into a small pan or baking dish (I use a quarter baking sheet) and place into freezer to chill for 15 minutes to allow the bars to set up.
  • Remove from freezer and cut into bars.
  • Store in pantry, refrigerator, or freezer.

CHEWY, NUTTY, HEALTHY GRANOLA BARS



Chewy, Nutty, Healthy Granola Bars image

Chewy, nutty, chocolaty, and packed with tasty energy, no one will ever know these bars are low-fat and healthy! They're very easy to make and you can pack in everyone's favorite nuts and fruits. My family has now stopped buying Kashi® and chewy bars because we love these so much. These are gluten-free when made with rice flour and appear to be professionally made thanks to the small spoonful of corn syrup that keeps everything tightly combined and gives the bars a nice shine. Have fun experimenting with different combinations of nuts, dried fruits, and toppings! Almond butter works well, too!
