No-Bake Granola Bars

No-bake granola bars!!  Who wouldn't love it?  When I saw this easy no-bake granola bars, I just had to try it.  A healthy more natural piece of granola bar is selling for $1.80 or more in a grocery store.  That was pricey if you asked me.  With this easy recipe, you can make a batch and grab one on the go or as a snack, nothing beat homemade.  This would make a healthy school snack for my girls in the coming school year too.

These granola bars are delicious.  Soft and chewy with the taste of peanut butter and all the goodies I put in there.  I added chocolate chips because my girls loved it, but you can certainly omit it.

Spread it out on a foil lined baking sheet and refrigerate.

Recipe adapted from FOOD 52 with some changes.

Ingredients:

(A)
2/3 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup pure honey
1/8 tsp. rock salt (or sea salt)

(B)
2 1/2 cups rolled oats
1/2 cup raw sunflower seeds
1/2 cup broken cashew nuts
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 Tbsp. chia seeds

Mix together in a bowl

Method:

1.  In a big bowl.  Add in (A).  Whisk until combined.

2.  Add in (B), stir with a spatula until everything is sticky and mixed well.  If it's too dry, add more honey.

3.  Line a baking dish with alum. foil.  Pour content on it and shape and press well into the baking dish. [I sprinkled some chia seeds on top at this stage, but it's optional.]  Refrigerate for 4 hours.  Cut into bar, wrap with cling wrap, put into an air-tight container and keep refrigerated until ready to use.  

*These bars will last for 2 weeks in the fridge.  However, I don't think it would last this long in my house as it was simply delicious!!*
