If you’re looking for a simple and healthy snack that the whole family will enjoy, these homemade granola bars are perfect. With just a few basic ingredients, you can whip up a batch that’s great for breakfast on the go, an afternoon snack, or a sweet treat after dinner. Plus, they’re made with The Granola Girl granola, which is low in sugar, vegan, nut-free, and gluten-free—ideal for everyone in the family, even those with dietary restrictions.
What You’ll Need:
2 ripe bananas
1/2 cup peanut butter (or a nut-free alternative)
2 cups of The Granola Girl granola (your choice of flavor)
1-2 chocolate bars (dairy-free options work too)
Instructions:
Mash the Bananas: Start by mashing the ripe bananas in a large bowl until they’re smooth. Bananas add natural sweetness and a soft, chewy texture to the bars.
Mix in the Peanut Butter: Stir in the peanut butter until it’s well blended with the bananas. This adds a creamy richness and healthy fats to keep you full.
Add the Granola: Gradually mix in The Granola Girl granola until the mixture sticks together. The granola provides a satisfying crunch and is packed with wholesome ingredients.
Prepare the Baking Tray: Grease a baking tray or line it with parchment paper. Spread the granola mixture evenly across the tray.
Top with Chocolate: Crush the chocolate bars and sprinkle them over the top. The chocolate adds a touch of indulgence that makes these bars hard to resist.
Bake: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake the granola bars for about 12 minutes, or until they’re golden and set.
Let Them Cool: After baking, let the bars cool completely before cutting them into squares or rectangles. This step ensures the bars hold their shape.
