Healthy Granola Bars (Vegan, Gluten-Free)
These vegan and gluten-free Healthy Granola Bars are the perfect healthy snack made with oats, peanut butter, and chocolate chips. Easy to make and no baking required!
Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut butter, runny consistency
- ⅓ cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups quick oats
- 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
- 2 tablespoons hemp seeds
- ¼ cup vegan mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Line an 6-inch or 8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, stir together the peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
- Stir in the quick oats, ground flaxseed, hemp seeds, and mini chocolate chips. Mix until everything is evenly coated.
- Transfer the mixture to the pan and press it down evenly and firmly so the bars hold together. Wet your hands a little if they are sticking.
- Place in the fridge for 1–2 hours to set.
- Lift the mixture out of the pan and use a sharp knife to cut into bars or squares. Enjoy!
Notes
- Use a creamy, all natural peanut butter (just peanuts + salt)
- Firmly press the mixture into the pan so your bars stay together.
- Chill before slicing—clean cuts are worth the wait!
- Keep in the fridge for up to 1 week or stash in the freezer for 3 months.
- Swap chocolate chips for dried fruit, chopped nuts, or coconut flakes.
