5 Minute Granola Bars
Ingredients
- 2 cups gluten free quick oats (you can use rolled oats and just blast them a few times in the food processor)
- 1¼ cup peanut butter (use sunflower butter for a nut free option)
- ½ cup pepitas or sunflower seeds
- ⅓ cup maple syrup or honey
- ⅓ cup mini chocolate chips (Enjoy Life chips are dairy, gluten and nut free.
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp sea salt (optional)
Instructions
- In a food processor, combine the oats, peanut butter, pepitas, salt and maple syrup. Then add in the chips and pulse a few times to get them evenly mixed in.
- Line an 8×8 pan with parchment paper. Leave enough paper to come out the sides.
- Press the mixture down well into the 8×8 pan. You really want to pack it so the bars hold together.
- Place the pan in the fridge to set. Should take 30 minutes.
- Once set, pull the whole thing out of the pan by the extra ends of parchment paper. Use a pizza cutter to cut them into bars or squares. Store in an airtight container in the fridge. They should last a couple weeks. Enjoy!
