Ingredients
- 12 ounces of pitted dates for natural sweetness
- ¼ cup of water, adjust as necessary for desired consistency
- 3 cups of rolled oats for a hearty base
- 2 cups of unsweetened shredded coconut for a tropical touch
- 2 cups of miniature chocolate chips for a decadent twist
- 1 ½ cups of whole raw almonds for crunch and nutrition
- ⅔ cup of pumpkin seeds for added texture
- ½ cup of salted sunflower seeds for a savory kick
- 1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon for warm flavor notes
- 1 cup of almond butter for nutty richness
- 1 cup of unsweetened applesauce for moisture
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract for a hint of sweetness and depth
Step 1
Prepare a 9x13-inch baking dish by lining it with waxed paper, ensuring that the paper extends over the edges of the dish for easy removal later on.
Step 2
In a food processor or blender, combine dates and water until a smooth paste forms, adjusting the water amount as needed to achieve the desired consistency.
Step 3
In a large bowl, mix together oats, coconut, chocolate chips, almonds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, and cinnamon. Add the date paste, almond butter, applesauce, and vanilla extract. Use your hands to thoroughly combine all the ingredients until everything is well mixed.
Step 4
Press the mixture into the lined baking dish, then cover it with another sheet of waxed paper. Use a can or mini roller to press down firmly. Place the dish in the freezer for about an hour to set.
Step 5
Once firm, remove the dish from the freezer and lift it out using the overhanging waxed paper edges. Cut the mixture into 25 squares for serving.
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. Keep your ingredients organized and easily accessible before you start making the granola bars. This will make the process smoother and more enjoyable.
- 2. Store your granola bars in an airtight container to keep them fresh and prevent them from getting stale. A glass jar or a plastic container with a tight-fitting lid works well.
