On the weekends I prep my snacks for the week. This time I tried some amazing granola bars that I found here. They are super easy to make with just a few ingredients, no-bake and vegan!
Makes 24 bars
2 1/2 cups rolled oats (I used Bob’s Red Mill Gluten-Free)
1 cup raw pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
1/2 cup raisins
2/3 cup all natural peanut or almond butter (I used PB2)
1/2 cup agave or brown rice syrup (I used brown rice syrup)
Dash of salt
Mix oats, pumpkin seeds and raisins in a large bowl. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together nut butter, sweetener and salt. Pour into dry ingredients and mix well until everything is sticky and combined. If it is too dry, add a bit more sweetener. 
Press mixture into a 9 x 13 pan and refrigerate for at least 4 hours. Cut into 24 squares, wrap and refrigerate. These will last up to two weeks in the fridge.
Nutritional Info for one bar:
137 Calories, 18g Carbs, 5g Fat, 5g Protein, 24mg Sodium, 8g Sugar
Please note, if you use all natural peanut/almond butter would increase the calories to about 175, fat to 18g, and protein to 7g.
Now this is the kind of thing i should be eating for breakfast – i need the energy and not the calories!
It is a great way to start your day!! Quiche is fancier though 🙂
Can this recipe be baked? If so, at what temperature and for how long and would you modified the ingredients at all?
I’ve never baked them but I’m sure you could try it at 350F for 15-20 minutes. I’m not 100% sure how they would turn out though!
