Homemade Granola Bars (Gluten Free)
These Homemade Granola Bars take 10 minutes to make, chill for an hour and guess what, there is no baking involved! These no-bake gluten free granola bars keep you full for hours. They are the perfect little treat for an afternoon or mid-morning snack, or even gluten free breakfast on the go. They are made with simple, wholesome ingredients, salty-sweet flavors and lots of chewy goodness. And of course, since I am celiac and eat gluten free, these bars are gluten free because they are made with oats.
Ingredients
- 2 cups Popcorn
- 2 cups gluten free oats
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries
- 1/2 cup honey roasted peanuts
- 1/2 cup pepitas or pumpkin seeds
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1/2 cup honey egan honey or agave
Instructions
- Prep the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the popcorn, oats, cranberries, peanuts, and pepitas. Give it a good stir so everything is evenly distributed.
- Get sticky! Pour the peanut butter and honey mixture over the dry ingredients. You can always melt the peanut butter in the microwave for easy mixing! Use a spoon or your hands to mix everything together until all the dry ingredients are evenly coated.
- Press it down: Line a baking pan with parchment paper. Pour the mixture into the pan and use the back of a spoon or your hands to press it down firmly and evenly. You want to create a nice, flat surface.
- Chill out: Cover the pan with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for at least 1-2 hours. This will allow the bars to set and become firm.
- Slice and enjoy! Once the bars are chilled, use a sharp knife to cut them into squares or rectangles.
