Gluten Free Granola Bars with Chocolate Chips, Peanut Butter, Almonds and Pecans
With the children heading back to school, I am looking for some healthy, nourishing snacks I can have on hand. These Gluten Free Granola Bars with Peanut Butter, Chocolate Chips, Almonds and Pecans tick all the boxes: healthy, protein-rich, sweet and chewy... They are perfect!
Ingredients
- 100 g peanut butter
- 50 g coconut oil
- 130 g honey
- 300 g gluten free oats
- 100 g chopped almonds
- 50 g chopped pecans
- 50 g dark chocolate chips
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 eggs
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C Fan and line a square 25cm x 25cm tin.
- In a medium sized saucepan on a medium heat, melt the honey, peanut butter and coconut oil together. Stir well.
- Take the saucepan off the heat and add the oats, nuts, salt and, lastly, eggs. Mix well.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared tin and press down firmly with the back of a wooden spoon.
- Sprinkle the chocolate chips on top and press down again with the back of the wooden spoon.
- Bake in the oven for 20 mins or until lightly browned all over.
- Allow to cool completely in the tin before transferring to a chopping board and slicing as desired. Depending on your family's appetite, you can make the bars bigger or smaller. I usually make 12-15 bars with this recipe.
