Lately I've been running around in the morning that I don't have time to make breakfast. Luckily I always have a healthy stash of these homemade granola raw bars. These energy bars are gluten free, vegan, and made with organic ingredients whenever possible! I love that these healthy bars are 100% delicious without added sugar and has zero fillers (unlike most store bought granola bars that leave you still hungry afterwards)!
I'm addicted to these raw bars. They are great to travel with and I always have a few in my diaper bag. They are great "on the go" snacks! These granola bars are easy to make in under 20 mins.
I usually use dates, walnuts and sunflower seeds as my stable ingredients. However you can make a few variations depending what you have available at home or what you are craving! You can substitute pecans, peanuts, etc with walnuts. Dates with figs. You can they idea....
Below recipe is a starting point and a guide for measurement. To be honest, I usually just free hand this when I make these raw bars.
Protip: add a big heaping spoonful of coconut oil otherwise your bars will not set and you will get loose granola. You can alway melt extra coconut oil and reset the mold.
