Granola Bars are the powerhouse of energy. They are perfect for a quick breakfast on the go, evening or back to school snack, or for after-workout hunger pangs. Making Granola Bar at home is like custom ordering your own sandwich at Subway. I find homemade granola bars way better than the store-bought ones. Why? Reasons To LOVE Homemade Granola Bars

Storage Suggestion
The best way to store granola bars is in a square or rectangular airtight glass container with a lid.
Whole Oats: I have used gluten-free whole oats for making granola bars. They give the sort after chewy texture to the bars. I use them to make overnight oats, pancakes, and even smoothies. Almonds: The roughly chopped almonds give a great crunch to the granola bars. In case you are allergic to almonds, use hazelnuts, pistachio, or any other nuts. Dried Cranberry: The sweetness, tartness, and chewiness of the dried cranberries perfectly complement the crunchiness of almonds. Feel free to use dried blueberries, figs, apricot, or golden raisins. Dark Chocolate Chips: Can you say no to chocolate? I cannot. Hence, there have to be chocolate chips in my granola bars. Cinnamon Powder: It gives a spicy, warm, and earthy taste to the granola bars. You can use a pumpkin pie spice mix as well. Peanut Butter: It is the binding ingredient in this chewy granola bar recipe. Any good quality, creamy nut butter will do the job. Honey: It helps to get the desired spoon-dropping consistency of the peanut butter. If the nut butter you are using is of a liquid consistency, skip adding honey. Vanilla: It is only for the sweet flavour and aroma.
Place a sheet of parchment paper in between each granola bar or pack each one of them in individual sheets. This way they remain fresh and do not crumble or stick together. You can store them in the fridge for 1 – 2 weeks. Though, in cold climatic conditions, you can store them at room temperature.
Recipe Variation: Vegan Granola Bars
For making vegan chewy granola bars, use stevia, molasses, or liquid brown sugar instead of honey. In case the consistency of your nut butter is runny and liquid, you can skip adding honey.
