Homemade Granola Bars

June 23, 2014 Melissa King 29 Comments

Homemade granola bars was one of the first recipes I tried to make from scratch. I started with my peanut butter granola bars. Once I realized how easy homemade granola bars were to make, I felt silly buying them pre-made bars. This new granola bar recipe is just as easy!

My granola bars are chewy. I bet if you liked them a little crispier, you can turn down the oven temp and cook them a little longer. I thought they were great just the way they were. These granola bars are also vegan and gluten free. Perfect to take to work or on the go.

I just love these blueberry muffin bites. Who doesn’t like a blueberry muffin? They remind me of the blueberry muffin larabar. In fact, I used similar ingredients. My daughter loves that flavor, so I thought I would make some for her. I’m sure by now, you know that I love homemade larabars. 🙂 These no bake bites came out so good! Not only are these delicious, but they are very easy to make!

These little yummy, no bake bites are vegan, gluten free, dairy free and egg free. You can probably make them grain free by using all cashews instead of the oats. This recipe is a perfect snack for kids too.

5 Minute Maca Energy Bites

Have you tried maca root powder yet? Maca root is a tuber, kind of like a potato. It is very well known as a natural energy booster. It can also help with hormonal issues such as menopause and fertility. Maca is rich in B vitamins as well. It can be pricey, but I promise that a little goes a long way, so the bag will last a long time. Kind of like chia seeds. You may even be able to buy maca powder out of the bulk bins at Whole Foods. I love putting maca powder in my Chocolate Almond Butter Overnight Oats because it adds a malty flavor that goes well with the chocolate. These Maca Energy Bites will not only give you a natural energy boost, but also a pretty good protein and fiber boost as well. If you enjoy my Maca Energy Bars, you will love these!
