No-Bake Trail Mix Granola Bars (Paleo + Vegan)
Health Highlights

Ingredients


1 1/2 cup Almonds, raw (nuts and seeds of choice (I used 1/2 cup each of chopped; sliced; and sunflower seeds))
1/2 cup Coconut flakes (flaked; (toasted))
1/2 cup Apricot, dried (dried; of choice (I used dried blueberries + cherries))
1 tbsp Chia seeds
1/4 tsp Salt (kosher)
1/2 tsp Cinnamon
1/2 cup Almond butter (creamy; (any nut; you like would work))
1/3 cup Maple syrup
2 tbsp Coconut oil
1 tsp Vanilla extract, pure

Instructions


  1. Line an 8x8” square pan with parchment paper and lightly grease with coconut oil. Set aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, stir together the nuts and seeds, flaked coconut, dried fruit, chia seeds, kosher salt, and cinnamon.
  3. Stir together the almond butter, maple syrup, and coconut oil in a small microwave-safe bowl or liquid measuring cup. Microwave the mixture for 30 seconds - it should be hot and pour easily. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. Pour the almond butter/maple syrup mixture over the dry ingredients and stir until all of the dry ingredients are coated.
  5. Pour the sticky mixture into the prepared pan and then use a flat-bottomed drinking glass, measuring cup, or spatula to press the mixture into a firm, even layer in the pan. Cover and place in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before cutting into 10 granola bars - the longer you let them set, the less crumbly they'll be when you cut into them.
  6. Store the granola bars in a sealed bag or container in the refrigerator for 2 weeks or in the freezer for a few months.
