Description
Nut-Free SunButter Granola Bars made with oats, three kinds of seeds, cranberries, dark chocolate chips, and SunButter. Perfect for back-to-school snacks!
Ingredients
- 2 cups gluten-free old-fashioned rolled oats
- ¼ cup pepitas
- ¼ cup mini chocolate chips
- ⅓ cup dried cranberries
- 2 TBSP chia seeds
- 2 TBSP ground flaxseed
- Generous ¾ cups No Sugar Added SunButter
- ⅓ cup pure maple syrup
Instructions
- Line an 8×8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.
- Combine the oats, pepitas, chocolate chips, dried cranberries, chia seeds, and ground flaxseed in a large mixing bowl.
- Add in the SunButter and maple syrup. Stir everything well with a spatula or spoon until it’s well combined and the oats are totally coated. The mixture should be quite thick.
- Spoon the mixture into the parchment lined baking pan and press firmly using your hands or the back of the spatula so it’s evenly spread out. Add more chocolate chips on top if you’d like and press those in with your hands.
- Cover the pan and place it in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours before serving to allow it to harden.
- When the bars feel solid to the touch, remove the parchment paper from the pan and place it on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, slice the block into 9-12 bars. Serve immediately.
- Store leftovers bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week and freeze for long term storage.
