Ingredients
Gluten-Free Granola Bars
- 2 Cups pitted dates, softened (see recipe notes)
- ½ Cup peanut butter (or other nut or seed butter)
- 1 Cup unsweetened coconut flakes
- 1 Tbsp chia seeds
- 2 Cups old fashioned oats
- 1-2 Tbsp water
- Roasted Cocoa Nibs
- More optional mixins: chocolate chips and dried fruit
Directions
Gluten-Free Granola Bars
- In a food processor, process together the dates and peanut butter on high until smooth, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides.
- Add in the chia seeds, coconut flakes and oats, and process on low speed until everything is mixed together. Add in 1 tablespoon of water at a time, until the mixture sticks together.
- When finished blending, fold in the Roasted Cocoa Nibs, and other optional mix-ins by hand if desired. You can also put them in the food processor and use the pulse setting to mix.
- Add the mixture to a 9x9" glass dish and press down firmly with your hands or a spatula until completely flattened.
- Place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Cut into squares or rectangles and enjoy!
