Ingredients

• 2 cups Gluten-free rolled oats
• 1 cup Chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts, or pecans)
• 0.5 cup Mixed seeds (sunflower, chia, or flax seeds)
• 0.5 cup Dried fruit (raisins, cranberries, or chopped dates)
• 0.5 cup Peanut butter (or almond butter)
• 0.33 cup Honey (or maple syrup)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 cup Chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a square 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free rolled oats, chopped nuts, mixed seeds, dried fruit, cinnamon, and salt.

Step 3

In a small saucepan over low heat, warm the peanut butter and honey together until they are fully combined and smooth. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

Pour the peanut butter mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir well with a spatula to evenly coat all the ingredients.

Step 5

If using chocolate chips, let the mixture cool slightly to avoid melting, then fold them in gently.

Step 6

Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking pan. Use the back of a spoon or your hands to press it down firmly and evenly into the pan.

Step 7

Bake for 5 minutes at 350°F (175°C) to set the bars. If you prefer softer bars, you can skip this step.

Step 8

Let the granola bars cool completely in the pan for at least 30 minutes. Use the parchment paper to lift them out of the pan.

Step 9

Cut the set mixture into 8 even bars. Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or in the fridge for up to two weeks.
