Hello everyone! Today I am sharing a super simple and easy recipe for homemade granola bars that are free of nuts, eggs, soy and gluten!
These can also be made vegan by simply making sure your chocolate chips are vegan and using maple syrup instead of honey.
You can also make these using nut butters, as almost every ingredient is flexible. The following are some variations you can use:
-Quick cooking oats or old-fashioned rolled oats (not steel-cut)
-peanut, almond, cashew butter or sunflower seed butter
-maple syrup, agave syrup, date syrup or honey
-dark, semi-sweet, milk or white chocolate chips (or omit entirely)
You can also add chopped nuts, raisins, dried cranberries, or any other mix-in that sounds good to you!
