Nutty Cranberry Granola Bars

Servings: 16 Squares

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup raw pumpkin seeds
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/4 cup raw pecans coarsely chopped
  • 1/4 cup raw hazelnuts coarsely chopped
  • 1/4 cup raw sunflower seeds
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats gluten free
  • 1/2 cup ground flaxseed
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp flaky sea salt

Wet Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup melted natural peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup or raw honey
  • 2 Tbsps melted unrefined virgin coconut oil
  • 2 tsps vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 325 degrees f. and line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl add all your dry ingredients and stir to combine well.
  • Melt your peanut butter gently on LOW heat using a saucepan or microwave. Stir it very often, and check on it every few seconds.
  • In a second smaller bowl, add your wet ingredients and whisk together well until smooth.
  • Pour your wet ingredients over the dry ingredients using a spatula to get it all. Stir everything until well combined, then transfer your mixture to the prepared baking pan.
  • Firmly press the mixture into an evenly-packed layer.
  • Place into your preheated oven and bake for about 25-27 minutes, or just until it begins to get a nice golden color on top.
  • Once done remove from the oven, and allow to completely cool down.
  • Your bars will firm up more as they cool, so slice them once they're completely cool.
  • Enjoy!
