Ingredients

  • 2 cups rolled oats (I used gluten-free)
  • 6 pitted dates
  • 1/2 cup natural peanut butter or sunflower butter for nut-free version
  • 6 tablespoons agave or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 cup raisins chopped or other dried fruits like cranberries, blueberries, pineapple
  • 1/2 cup sliced almonds or sunflower seeds, or 1/4 cup hemp seeds + 1/4 cup chia seeds for nut-free version

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
  • Add oats, dates, peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt to a food processor. Process until mixture is finely grounded and starts leaving the sides of the food processor bowl.
  • Transfer the mixture into a large bowl and add dry fruits and almonds; mix well to combine.
  • Press granola bar into a greased casserole pan, (I used a 9x5 pan). Use a sharp knife, and score into the size of the bars.
  • Baked granola bars for 50-60 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Remove the baked granola bars from the oven. Allow the casserole pan to cool enough to handle.
  • Remove the bars and allow them to cool completely.
