These No Bake Nutty Granola Bars are the perfect treat for when that afternoon slump hits!
Who else is on the team, “I need a snack to get me through from lunch to dinner”? Because I know for sure that I cannot make it without one. I like to think it is because my brain is working so hard that I need more fuel to make it through, you know?
I made these no-bake nutty granola bars a few weekends ago when I was home, because like I’ve said before, my dad always loves when I make him snacks to take to work. These nutty granola bars are perfect for that because they are loaded with healthy fats to keep you full through the afternoon.
When I made them, we decided to have them for dessert that night too and we both went back for seconds. Slightly sweet, slightly salty, but a whole lot of good.
They are seriously super forgiving too, you can really add whatever mixture you want here, you just need a sticky substance to keep them together (I find that honey + nut butter work best). I used whatever nuts my parents had on hand, threw it all in one bowl, and then pressed into a brownie pan. Done.
They can be stored in either the fridge or the freezer!

YES! SO GOOD! I used 1/2 PB 1/2 AB and also subbed a couple tablespoons of the honey for maple syrup. I used almonds, walnuts, pecans, & cashews. It’s all I can do not to eat the whole batch!

This recipe is fantastic!! I love how versatile it is (you can use whatever nuts you have in hand), and I subbed dark chocolate chunks in for raisins to make a more indulgent snack. Never found a recipe of yours I didn’t love!?
