Almond Granola Bars
Who is ready for one heck of a snack bar?! My family goes crazy over granola bars, but they aren’t always the cheapest treat to buy – the good ones at least. Especially when the whole box is gone in about one hour.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups oats quick cooking
- 1 1/2 cups almonds roasted unsalted
- 1/3 cup rice krispie cereal
- 1/3 cup oat flour ground up oats
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon optional
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1 cup creamy store-bought almond butter
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
- Line an 8-inch pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the oats, almonds (coarsely chop these if desired), rice krispies, oat flour, and salt. Add cinnamon if desired.
- In another bowl, mix together the honey, vanilla, and almond butter until well combined.
- Mix wet and dry ingredients until the mixture is well combined. If the mixture seems too wet, add in a few more oats as it needs to be drier for firmer bars.
- Press the mixture into the prepared pan and pack down the mixture well. Really pack it down as this is what will hold the bars together. I use the bottom of a cup to press mine down.
- Cover and place in the fridge overnight.
- Remove from the pan and slice with a very sharp knife. Keep the bars wrapped individually in the fridge.
