    These No-Bake Granola Bars are soft and chewy, rich and fudgy, and perfectly sweet! They're quick and easy to make, easily customisable and come together in one bowl. They're healthy, satisfying, and take just 15 minutes to make. They're vegan, gluten-free, refined sugar free, stay soft for days, and are perfect for meal prep, breakfast, a snack or dessert!

    • Remove from the loaf tin and cut into bars - you should be able to cut into 6 bars.

    How long do these keep for?

    They keep in an airtight container in the fridge for a good few days.

    Can they be frozen?

    Yes, they keep in the freezer for up to one month - leave to thaw at room temperature for 30 minutes before eating.

    Substitutions you can make

    • The peanut butter can be replaced with almond butter, cashew butter, sunflower seed butter or tahini.
    • The agave syrup can be replaced with brown rice syrup or date syrup (I wouldn't recommend maple syrup as it's too liquidy).
    • You can omit the chocolate chips and goji berries.
    • The chocolate chips/goji berries can be replaced with dried cranberries, raisins or chopped nuts.
    • Use refined sugar free chocolate chips if you prefer.
    • The desiccated coconut can be omitted.
    • You can add cocoa powder or matcha powder.

      Thanks

        Rice puffs or rice krispies could work!

      Delicious granola bars! Made them to snack on while travelling.... so easy and so good... yum! Even my conventional eating husband kept snacking on them. They’ll definitely become a regular treat in our house.
