Easy No-Bake Granola Bars

August 22, 2016 By Jennifer Lambert 1 Comment

We used to love a particular store-bought peanut butter chocolate chip granola bar. We always had them in our pantry.

When we became more conscious about what we were putting into our bodies, we realized they were full of additives and undesirable things.

I’ve been experimenting to make our own, as close to that flavor we remember.

Our no-bake granola bars, customizable with ingredients like rice cereal, dried fruit, nuts, and nut butter!

Here are all our favorite ingredients:

Gooey Granola
I line a pan with parchment paper:

I press the granola into the pan:
Press into Pan
Chocolate chips are pressed last so they don’t melt too much.
Add Chocolate
I fold over the parchment and press with my hands, then cover over it all with foil, and refrigerate. For at least an hour, usually overnight.
Cover and Refrigerate
The cold granola cuts pretty. We store it in zip bags in the fridge since it’s a little more gooey than store-bought bars.
Cut into Bars
These granola bars are super easy to make.
You can add different nuts, nut butter (or not), chocolate, dried fruit, seeds, different cereals – make them how you want! You can add more or less sweetener to your taste.
