Healthy, homemade granola bars that are gluten free! Feel free to add whatever mixture of nuts you'd like!
Prep Time5 minutes
Cook Time35 minutes
Total Time40 minutes
Course: Snack
Keyword: Gluten-Free, vegan
Servings: 12 people

Ingredients

  • 2 cups nuts cashews, almonds, pecans, walnuts
  • 1/2 cup dried coconut
  • 1/4 cup dired cranberries
  • 1/4 cup pepitas
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  • Add all of the nuts, seeds, dried fruit and salt to a mixing bowl and give it a stir.
  • In a separate small bowl, stir together the vanilla extract and maple syrup. Pour this on top of the nuts and stir everything together, until it's well coated.
  • Pour the mixture into the baking pan and use the back of a large spoon or spatula to flatten it into one layer.
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes, then cool for one hour in the pan.
  • Once the granola bars are fully cooled, slice them into bars. I slice then entire portion in half, then divide each half into six bars, for 12 total granola bars.

Tips

  • If your bars are still sticky an hour after cooling, you may need to bake them a few minutes longer next time to better caramelize the maple syrup.
