With a base of peanut butter and Bee Free Honee (or maple syrup), these homemade granola bars are filling, dense, chewy and delicious - perfect for packing up to take with lunch, for snacks, or as a to-go breakfast.
Servings: 16 bars
Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut butter, or another nut/seed butter
- 1/2 cup maple syrup, or Bee Free Honee
- 1/4 cup non-dairy milk
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- pinch nutmeg
- 1/4 cup flaxseed, ground
- 1/4 cup sesame seeds
- 1/4 cup coconut, unsweetened
- 1/2 cup raisins
- 1/4 cup dried cranberries
- 1/4 cup goji berries
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1/4 cup whole grain flour, I used amaranth flour
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a large mixing bowl, stir together the peanut butter, bee free honee/maple syrup, and non-dairy milk until smooth and creamy.
- Add the spices, seeds, and dried fruit. Stir until combined.
- Add the oats and flour, and stir until combined.
- Spread a small amount of coconut oil in an 8x13" baking pan, and then press the oat mixture in evenly and flatten the top. Put the pan in the oven for about 30 minutes, or until just browned around the edges.
- Let cool, and then put the pan in the fridge until fully chilled.
- Cut into squares or bars, and keep in an airtight container in the fridge, up to 8 weeks.
Notes
Swap the seeds and dried fruit for any other nuts, seeds or dried fruits you like. Try chopped almonds, dried figs, apricots, or anything else.
