Healthy 5-Ingredient Granola Bars

these are SO GOOD! i don’t have a food processor, so I just attacked the dates with a knife until they were small enough. I also added some sunflower seeds and chocolate chips, which melted a little bit and made the whole thing beautifully chocolatey. 10/10

Very tasty! Really hits the sweet spot. Next time, I won't toast the oats and almonds (or toast them less). I added about 3/4 cup almonds and 1/2 cup walnuts, some dried apple juice sweetened cranberries and that's it. I found it a little sweet, so I reduced the maple syrup to just under 1/4 cup. Also, they are a bit on the soft side with walnut butter, so I reduced that, but cashew butter is better. I cut them into 10 pieces. This is definitely a keeper!!! Update.... I never toast the oats and nuts anymore and have now made these multiple times. They never fail to please! EVER!

I've made this recipe a handful of times and will continue making it over and over. It is so good and so easy. My kids love it too!

Second time I've made these as it all fell apart the first time, so I purchased silicone moulds, now they are perfect and I add different dried fruits

I really like these bars. There's a lot of clean up involved but they're really easy to make outside of that. I keep them in the freezer and then take them out to thaw each morning. I used a mix of roasted peanuts and cashews since that's what I had on hand. I didn't add anything extra this time but I'll probably add dried fruit in my next batch.
