Servings: 8 bars
Ingredients
Wet ingredients
- 1/2 cup natural peanut butter stir well before measuring
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Dry ingredients
- 1 cup quick oats(regular or certified gluten free)
- 1 cup shredded coconut
- 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds
- 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- For no-bake granola bars, simply line a 9x9 inch baking pan with parchment paper.For baked granola bars, preheat oven to 350°F and line a 9x9 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, mix together the wet ingredients; peanut butter, vanilla, and maple syrup until well combined
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine dry ingredients and mix well. Add the wet ingredients to the same mixing bowl. Use a silicone spatula to incorporate all ingredients together. The mixture should be a bit crumbly but sticky enough to be formed and molded.
- Scoop the mixture into the prepared baking pan. Using your hands or a silicone spatula, press the mixture firmly and evenly until it fills the entire pan. It should be very compact, as this will prevent the bars from falling apart.
- For no-bake granola bars, cover the pan and put it in the fridge for at least 3 hours or overnight. Remove and slice into 8 bars. For baked granola bars, add them to your preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool completely before cutting them into 8 bars (they will fall apart easily if warm)
