Time 4h10m

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 1/2 cups rolled oats
1 cup toasted salted pepitas (unsalted/untoasted work too)
1/2 cup dried cranberries
2 tablespoons chia seeds (optional)
2/3 cup smooth peanut butter (I use the natural stuff)
1/2 - 2/3 cup brown rice syrup (can sub agave nectar)

Steps:

  • Line an 8-inch by 8-inch baking dish with parchment paper. I like to use a long piece with the sides sticking out so I can use them as "handles" to lift out the bars later on.
  • In a large bowl, mix together the oats, pepitas, cranberries, and chia seeds.
  • In a medium bowl, mix together the peanut butter and 1/2 cup brown rice syrup.
  • Pour the wet ingredients over the dry and mix well with a wooden spoon. If the ingredients aren't quite sticking together, add a little more brown rice syrup, stirring after each addition, until they do.
  • Pour into the baking dish and press flat with your hands. The more firmly you can press, the less likely they are to be crumbly!
  • Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, until firm. Lift from baking dish and cut with a sharp chef's knife. Store, refrigerated, in an airtight container for up to two weeks.

I'm allergic to peanuts, so I made these granola bars with almond butter instead. They were just as good!

I'm not a huge fan of peanut butter, but these granola bars are still really good. The cranberries and pepitas add a nice sweetness and crunch.
