Time 50m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups rolled oats
½ cup chopped walnuts
¼ cup cashew butter
¼ cup honey
½ cup roasted and salted pumpkin seeds
2 tablespoons psyllium husks
2 tablespoons ground chia seeds

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spread oats and walnuts onto a baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven, stirring occasionally, until oats and walnuts are lightly browned and fragrant, about 7 minutes. Remove baking sheet from oven and let oats and walnuts cool.
  • Combine cashew butter and honey in a skillet or saucepan; cook and stir over low heat until mixture is smooth, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Mix oats, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, psyllium husks, and chia seeds together in a large bowl; add cashew butter mixture and stir using a spatula or wooden spoon until evenly mixed.
  • Line an 11x7-inch baking dish with enough parchment paper so that it hangs over the edges. Pour oat mixture into the dish, spreading and flattening until mixture is pressed well into the dish.
  • Refrigerate granola bars until solid, about 30 minutes (or freeze for 20 minutes). Cut into bars.

These granola bars are a great way to use up leftover oats. I always have a few cups of oats in my pantry, so it's nice to have a recipe that uses them up.

I had some trouble getting the granola bars to hold together. I think I might have needed to press them down more firmly. Other than that, they were good.

These granola bars were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred them with less honey. Otherwise, they were good.
