How to Prepare Homemade Granola Bars [Vegan, Gluten-Free]
- Preheat oven to 325°F and line a standard cookie sheet with parchment.
- In a large bowl, mix together oats, almonds, pre-soaked cherries, walnuts, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, coconut, hemp seeds, chia seeds, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
- Put maple syrup, almond butter, and coconut oil in a small pot over low heat. Melt together with frequent stirring. Remove from heat and stir in almond extract.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until well incorporated.
- Spread the granola in a single layer on baking sheet and press down firmly.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes then remove from oven and allow to cool fully before cutting into small bars.
- Drizzle with melted dark chocolate as desired.
Notes
Dried fruit can get almost rock hard when baked in granola and granola bars. To avoid this, I recommend that you pre-soak them in warm water for 30 minutes before adding.
