No Bake Granola Bars

Ingredients

  • 1⅔ cup gluten free quick-cooking oats
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ cup flaxseed meal
  • ½ cup pumpkin seeds (pepitas), coarsely chopped or ground
  • 1¼ cup 100% ground peanut butter
  • ⅓ cup wildflower honey or honey of choice

  • ⅓ cup unsweetened dried fruit (optional)
  • ⅓ cup mini chocolate chips-optional
  • ⅓ cup chopped nuts-optional

Directions

Print Recipe
  1. Line an 8x8 square pan with parchment paper.
  2. Measure oats, cinnamon, flaxseed meal and chopped pumpkin seeds into a large mixing bowl and combine dry ingredients.
  3. Measure nut butter, honey, and vanilla extract into microwave-safe bowl and place in microwave for 30-45 seconds to warm. Stir until combined and pour over oat mixture. Add in optional ingredients based on your preference (Note: if you add chocolate chips directly to warm mixture, they will melt. To prevent melting, add chocolate chips last, on top of pressed mixture, and press firmly into surface). Using a spoon or your hands, stir together all ingredients until well combined.
  4. Pour mixture into prepared pan and press firmly until mixture is evenly distributed and compressed.
  5. Place in refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before cutting.
  6. Store in fridge for up to 1 week or freezer for up to 1 month.
