NUT FREE NO BAKE GRANOLA BARS
The boys love taking granola bars to school/activities for a snack, but so many places are nut free now that it was becoming difficult to find a relatively healthy and cost-efficient option. I started looking for alternatives and even the “healthy” options at the grocery store had 27 ingredients.
I decided to learn how to make my own and after alot of trial and error finally figured out the perfect ratios to make a granola bar that would stay firmly together, but was also soft and delicious! Bonus, it only has 8 ingredients!
The thing I like most about this recipe is that it is a great base. You can leave them as is or customize them with your choice of add-ins! I’ve listed a few ideas for you below.
If you want to try different variations, here’s a few ideas for add-ins!
S’mores Bar - Marshmallows, Crushed Graham Crackers, Chocolate Chips
Sweet and Salty - Pretzel Pieces and Chocolate Chips
Hawaiian - Sweetened Coconut and Dried Mango
Birthday Cake - White Chocolate Chips and Sprinkles
Fruit Filled - Dried Cranberries and Blueberries, Drizzle with Melted White Chocolate

I do not love extremely long recipe posts that share my every thought as I created the dish or that repeat the same thing over and over 🤣.
I’ll leave that to the professionals 😜.
Any recipe I share has been tested by my own family and officially approved with two thumbs up 👍👍!
