No Bake Granola Bars (Gluten Free, Nut Free)
You'll love the texture and flavor of these chewy gluten free, nut free granola bars!
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups certified gluten free old fashioned oats
- 1 ½ cups gluten free cheerios or a different cereal, like rice chex
- ½ cup maple syrup
- ½ cup creamy sunbutter or a different seed butter
- ½ cup dairy free chocolate shavings about one Enjoy Life chocolate bar
Instructions
- Line an 8x8 pan with parchment paper so that it hangs over two sides.
- Use a sharp knife to finely chop the chocolate bar. I usually just drag the knife on the edges of the bar so that little shavings of chocolate fall off. Set aside.
- Place the oats into a food processor and pulse until they are finely ground.
- Add the cereal, and pulse again to grind.
- Add the maple syrup and sunbutter, and process until a thick dough forms.
- Add the chocolate shavings and pulse to combine.
- Put the dough into the prepared pan. Use a piece of waxed paper to press the bars down firmly and evenly.
- Cover the pan and refrigerate for one hour.
- Use a very sharp knife to slice the bars. You can do this in the pan, or remove the slab of dough with the parchment, and then slice the bars outside of the pan.
- Enjoy!
Notes
Store granola bars in the refrigerator. They should stay fresh for about one week.
You can freeze these - store in the freezer for up to 3 months.
You can leave out the cereal and use more oats if you like.
