Ingredients You Need for No Bake Breakfast Granola Bars [Vegan, Gluten-Free]
How to Prepare No Bake Breakfast Granola Bars [Vegan, Gluten-Free]
- Line an 8×8 baking pan with parchment paper.
- Pulse the oats in a food processor a few times. You don’t want oat flour, but you want to break them down a bit.
- Remove the oats and add the almonds. Pulse them until they’re as small or large as you want. You can also hand chop these if you aren’t as lazy as I am. I also added a portion of a bar of dark chocolate and pulsed that to avoid dirtying a knife or cutting board.
- Combine the oats, almonds, salt and chocolate in a large mixing bowl.
- Whisk the maple syrup and peanut butter together in a separate bowl. If you keep your peanut butter in the fridge, you can microwave it for 15 seconds at a time until it’s smooth enough to combine with the syrup.
- Add the syrup mixture to the oat mixture and stir to combine! Press evenly into the lined pan.
- Freeze for at least an hour, preferably overnight. Remove and cut into squares. Since these aren’t baked they will fall apart at room temperate, so store them in the freezer. They don’t even need time to defrost before you eat them because they rarely freeze solid. Plus, frozen chunks of dark chocolate are a gift to us all.
Notes
Make sure you choose certified gluten-free oats if avoiding gluten is a concern.

WHY do you still use a microwave?
Even for just 15 sec. It totally changes the protein structure of the foods. You have such amazing food choices on this site why not show people that there life without micriwaves.
I agree, I also don\’t think canned beans should be involved in any healthy recipe, and sometimes I even see vegetable or canola oil in one which are terrible for you!
