Healthy Chewy Snack Bars Your Whole Family Will Love
These chewy snack bars are a perfect mix of wholesome ingredients like puffed brown rice, nuts, and seeds, sweetened naturally with honey. They make an easy granola bar or no-bake snack bar for anyone, including nut-free options.
Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cup puffed brown rice (we like One Degree Organic)
- 3/4 cup raw almonds roughly chopped
- 1/2 cup raw sunflower seeds
- 1/2 cup raw pumpkin seeds
- 1/4 cup raw hempseeds
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup smooth cashew butter
- 1/3 cup honey (preferably local and raw)
- 2 tbsp coconut oil melted
- 1/2 cup non-dairy dark chocolate chips
- 1/2 tsp flaky sea salt
Instructions
- Line a 9 x 6 x 2-inch baking dish with parchment paper and set it aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the puffed brown rice, almonds, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, hemp seeds, and cinnamon.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the cashew butter, honey, and melted coconut oil until smooth.
- Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients. Use a silicone spatula to mix everything until well combined.
- Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Press it down firmly and evenly into the dish using your hands or the back of a spatula.
- Melt the dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, microwaving in 30-second intervals and stirring until fully melted.
- Drizzle the melted chocolate over the bars. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to set.
- Sprinkle the flaky sea salt on top, then refrigerate for another 30 minutes until the chocolate hardens.
- Carefully slice the bars into 4 x 1-inch pieces using a sharp knife. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two weeks or freeze for up to three months.
