These "granola" bars are delicious as well as super good for you! I love to eat these for breakfast or before a run, but they also make good, healthy snacks. I adapted this recipe from Against All Grain, by putting in some of my favorite add-ins (raisins, and chia seeds!) and more of certain ingredients. I make this recipe a few times a week; my siblings l.o.v.e these "granola" bars anytime of the day!
Paleo "Granola" Bars
2 cups of nuts (I use mainly almonds, plus whatever I've got around: walnuts, pecans or peanuts)
1 cup of shredded, unsweetened coconut flakes
1/4 cup of sunflower seeds
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1/4 cup of honey
2 teaspoons vanilla
3/4 cup peanut butter
3 Tablespoons coconut oil
Instructions:
- Combine the vanilla, honey, peanut butter, and coconut oil in a saucepan over medium-low heat.
- While the mixture is heating, place all of the nuts and in a
food processor and chop until the mixture is coarsely chopped. - In a bowl, stir together the chopped nuts, coconut flakes, sunflower seeds chia seeds and raisins.
- Remove the coconut oil mixture from the stove once it has melted, then stir in the nut mixture.
- Line an 8×8 baking pan with parchment paper, then pour the granola bar mixture into the pan.
- Place another piece of parchment on top, and use your palms to press the mixture into the pan evenly. Make sure to pack it down as tightly as possible. .
- Place in the freezer to set for 2 hours. Lift the parchment paper out of the pan and place on a cutting board. Use a sharp knife to cut the bars into rectangles.
