    These Vegan Granola Bars are chewy, nutty and perfectly satisfying. They're nutritious, a good source of protein and fibre, and are gluten-free and refined sugar free too. They're easy as they come together in one bowl, take just 20 minutes to make, and the recipe is easily customisable. Great for breakfast, dessert, a snack or meal prep, and they travel well too!

    Granola bars, flapjacks, cereal bars or whatever else you like to call them, are really delicious and make such a convenient snack, but unfortunately a lot of them aren't always as healthy as they look. But, luckily they're much easier to make than you may think, so why not make your own!

    How to make this recipe

    • Mix together all the ingredients in a glass mixing bowl.

        Sorry I don't think so...they keep in an airtight container for a good few days (or up to a week) though.
