John and that i type of possess a factor for granola bars. It began whenever we discovered the glory that's Trader Joe’s Apple (Cake) Bars . Then, we've got into more fundamental versions with folded oatmeal. But somewhere across the line we've got concered about the components namely high fructose corn demon and strayed from them altogether.
However, sometimes you actually only need a snack with a serious remaining power. And because this really is Minimalist Baker, you realize I needed something simple. Enter: The Five-Component (No Bake) Granola Bar. Situations are getting seriously minimalist at this time.
The bottom of these bars is dates natural sweetener supah powah. Only then do we add almonds, oatmeal, peanut butter and honey (or walnut syrup) and blend it altogether!
That’s it. Just 5 ingredients, no baking involved (unless of course you need to toast the oatmeal and almonds) plus they’ll retain in the freezer for-ever (that's, if you're able to resist them for your lengthy).
If you're able to’t jive with peanut butter simply swap in almond, sunflower or any other nut/seed butter. To help keep these vegan, stick to walnut syrup or agave rather of honey. And to ensure that they're gluten-free, use GF oatmeal. Simple, customizable, scrumptious.
Talking about scrumptious, these little guys are dreamy.
Simple flavors, wholesome ingredients, salty-sweet and a lot of crunch. I designed a batch a week ago and am already lower to 1-quarter of 1 bar. The Way I worked out the self-control in order to save a quarter of the bar is beyond me. But by tomorrow it in all probability won’t exist, basically know myself whatsoever.
These actually are the right bar for any hearty snack simply because they help you stay full for hrs and don’t give a sugar overload. Plus, they pack in lots of healthy fats in the almonds and peanut butter, and a lot of fiber in the oatmeal. Mid-day and mid-morning snack, solved.

I made these after i went trekking plus they were awesome. Perfect energy food when you really need to bring along efficiently light. I re-named those to trekking bars. Used to do’t have almonds and so i used pecans, sunflower seeds, pepitas, sampled great! I additionally used normal cheap dates to moisten them I blended all of them with around 1/4 cup of coconut oil. This adds bonus calories boosts the durability from the bars (no water to allow them to go mouldy). 10/5 stars.
I Really Like this recipe and also have been which makes it for that this past year. Very easy and scrumptious each time. This recipe inspired my recent publish by myself blog, centered on adapting a recipe whenever you just don’t have the components on hands. My newest batch, with a few modifications, switched out scrumptious, too! Browse the publish to determine the way you inspired me, Dana!
I made all of them prunes since i didn’t have dates on hands, plus they arrived on the scene well! I'll state that be cautious should you toast your oatmeal because mine burned at fifteen minutes. I put inside a second batch for ten minutes that was perfect within my oven. The toasted flavor from the oatmeal and aroma in the kitchen area is a fairly added touch. Thank you for this versatile recipe, you don't need to buy commercially made granola bars. =)
They are AWESOME! I built them into vegan using the walnut syrup, and used pre-sliced almonds since they're simpler to utilize. I additionally used crunchy peanut butter because that’s things i had. Otherwise, I adopted just like it states. The date paste was some a good work out to combine in, however it was worthwhile! Plus they create a fabulous grab and go breakfast! And thus scrumptious!
I really like this recipe! I made the decision to include some seeds for this as they have to be utilized :)
They are so excellent. I've been which makes them using the following modifications/additions: crunchy peanut butter, choc chips, coconut flakes, 1 teaspoon vanilla, and often raisins. I’ve also sometimes used other nuts in conjunction with the almonds (together totaling just one cup). If required, I’ve added a bit more honey or peanut butter towards the heated mix (or simply more honey towards the whole factor in the finish) to make certain everything sticks. They’ve been a large hit&... and something fan recommended adding marshmellows&.... I’m intrigued. ) Thanks!
I loved making these! I improvised extra ingredients, including sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, raisins, and much more! It had been quite simple. Mine were a little more gooey since i also added more walnut syrup and pb. But, I loved it. So tasty and simple.
Great recipes. And So I attempted these for that firat time yesterday and mine never quite set I believe i built them into too moist. very tasty though! I'll persevere&.... and check out which makes them over and over until they're right. but nintendo wii if they're too moist, would baking them for ten mins help? (I understand they're no bake lol but wouldn't it aid setting by drying them out just a little?)
Yes, mine were probably the most scrumptious pile of crumbs. Unsure steps to make them stick better (I pressed them very hard). I'll try remaking exactly the same batch with a few melted coconut oil added.
These bars would be the perfect healthy treat whenever you just can’t have ANOTHER bit of fruit. I designed a couple of alterations: Used to do toast the coconut I drenched the dates in steamed water for fifteen minutes before draining and processing replaced the almonds with 1/2 c raw cashews and 1/2 c unsweetened coconut. I made use of honey and peanut butter and added a little bit of vanilla too. They’re scrumptious, thanks! They’ll never result in the freezer, though. )
I've made these multiple occasions with different variations to defend myself against my hiking journeys with buddies. They always get great reviews. The newest variation I attempted was inspired by ginger root snaps plus they switched out scrumptious. Replace honey with molasses. Replace PB with cashew butter (homemade). Replace almonds with pecans. Add 1.5 teaspoon each cinnamon and ginger root. Add 1/2 cup choc chips because chocolate. Totally scrumptious. So pleased to have discovered a recipe that is really easy to create and doesn’t contain any oils or refined sugar!

I'll be trying your variation. Sounds scrumptious. I’m also likely to try with walnuts, when i possess some left from Christmas baking. Thanks.
Hi. I really like the feel of this granola recipe. However, can one just omit the peanut butter and switch the dates with chocolates? Can there be something that I have to do to really make it a acceptable change?
They are scrumptious. Although I have a similar problem like a couple of of those who've commented before. The dates I purchase will always be moist and that i have difficulties with no-bake recipes, because they never appear to create. Can One simply add less dates, or possibly increase the oatmeal to offset this?
Thanks!
Dana Shultz states
You can include less dates, or simply store them within the freezer like I actually do!
Let's say they’re still moist despite finding yourself in the freezer? What you can do to lessen the moistness later on?
Leslie Lorino states
Appreciate this excellent recipe. I made use of salted almonds, that’s things i had, and a combination of dates, prunes, cooking raisins, dried cherries, cranberries and apricots. I invest the fruit within my nutrabullit and pulsed until it created a ball, then added the toasted oatmeal, chopped almonds, a sizable tablespoons of. of coconut flakes and also the honey/peanut butter. They switched out wonderful and my children and husband loved them. Packed them individually in tinfoil with smile stickers. Many thanks. A real keeper for the family.

I'm a date novice and so i bought dried and wound up soaking in serious trouble to melt them up. I additionally didn’t realize they'd have the pit inside them so, I needed to perform a little surgery before grinding them. One child is tree-nut allergic therefore we went with no almonds but used crunchy peanut butter to obtain the texture. I additionally baked mine for around 10 min at 350 since i’m not really a no-bake texture fan. I'd like them just a little sweeter and so i will prove to add more dates or a few of the recommended substitutions above. Great foundation recipe. Thanks.
Hello, this recipe looks fantastic! However I had a few pre-determined questions:
Exactly what do you consider replacing the dates with figs?
Doesn’t the peanut butter provide you with loads and lots of processed sugars? A minimum of, the peanut butter I'm able to buy at the shop is nearly pure sugar. Would you possibly produce the specific get you noticed use, in order to find out if it’s obtainable in my country? (I searched for almond or sunflower butter, however i can’t find individuals either)
Which country are you currently in Ruth? I’m a united states residing in Germany, and that i buy my peanut butter at nutrition stores since the horrible ones you discover in the regular supermarkets (&"USA peanut butter&" using the embarrassingly cheesy flags throughout) have plenty of sugar. Should you’re in germany/Europe I possibly could recommend some brands.
Woops sorry, I totally didn't remember to say that My home is Belgium. I’m afraid my small speck of the village doesn't have nutrition stores, but there's talk that certain will probably be opened up soon within the next town over. Some recommendations will be a great help, thanks!
Have you got a mixer? If that's the case, you may make your personal peanut butter! It’s rather easy. This site includes a couple recipes, but realize that the only real factor you need to do is roast the peanuts after which grind them. Should you add salt or sweetener, get it done to fit your taste! I wouldn’t add any honey towards the PB as this granola bar recipe already requires it, also it’s sweet enough using the one helping of honey and also the dried fruit. Best of luck!!
Wow There is to state they are amazing! I made use of almond flakes rather of almond and located little difficulty. My only complaint is that they were quite dry. I’m a young child and may get this to, so Home theater system . can
Just recipe!

Love these bars! I’ve attempted a lot of granola bar recipes which is undoubtedly my personal favorite. I added sunflower seeds, raisins, vanilla, cinnamon along with a pinch of salt. If only I'd toasted the oatmeal first, though, because the raw oatmeal are a little too soft in my preference. However I will certainly make these over and over!
These bars are scrumptious! But mine won’t set, I'm able to’t even slice them into neat bars like in your photo’s. I needed to pack them individually in plastic wrap to keep them, they're so moist and sticky they'd otherwise glue together. I don’t know very well what went wrong, since i have adopted the recipe towards the letter. Is the problem maintain the conversion from cups to grams? ‘a cup’ is only a unit of measurement that doesn’t exist here.
Love these! Quite simple to create! I only had dried chopped dates on hands rather from the nice fresh sticky ones, and so i added in regards to a Tablespoon of coconut oil. Also included some walnuts since i didn’t have sufficient almonds on hands. My boy is allergic to peanuts, accustomed an almond/coconut butter rather from the peanut butter. They arrived on the scene great. Love this recipe is flexible and will also be my &"go-to&" for snack bars a lot better and cost-effective over a store-bought version. My boys take them on their own backwoods survival camp-out a few days ago when they last that lengthy. )
Really happy with this recipe. I've been making homemade granola bars for any couple of years but using brown sugar and honey because the glue. I understood I possibly could find something better and attempted this recipe. Fantastic. A lot more happy using dates. Now it’s time for you to experiment using a few of the ideas in the others here. Thanks.
Hi! I'm considering making these in my camping trip, but don't know the way they’ll do in warmer temperatures, particularly with the peanut butter. Have you ever had any knowledge about that? Will they endure inside a warm backpack for instance? THanks!
A great recipe! I added 2 teaspoons of cacao and a few raisins also it was super yummy. Mine were really really sticky and gooey. I built them into yesterday and you will find only two pieces left as my entire family loved them. Just great easy recipe.
I made these for me personally and my daughter yesterday plus they were absolutely amazing! We ate them as a night time snack as you're watching a film, I believe I would make sure they are slightly sweeter the next time, however i’m without a doubt likely to bare this recipe within my back pocket for social gatherings with buddies. Congrats and thank you for supplying us with your an outstanding recipe.

I wish to do this recipe but I've got a couple questions.
The peanut butter I've isn't salted, just natural, must i add salt?
Can the oatmeal and almonds be toasted around the stove in situation I don’t wish to light the oven?
