Chewy Peanut Butter Fruit and Nut Granola Bars

Chewy Peanut Butter Fruit and Nut Granola Bars are packed with toasted oats and nuts, dried fruit and sweetened with maple and brown rice syrup. This recipe is vegetarian, vegan and easily gluten free.

Rob’s been sick with a dreadful winter cold. Luckily it wasn’t the flu. I’ve been drinking copious amounts of this citrus ginger mint green smoothie, to avoid any bug that might encroach. Despite my tactics, I woke Saturday morning with a nasty sore throat. I don’t remember the last time I was sick.

Thing is I really don’t feel terrible over all, just enough to slow me down rolling out of bed or to tire me a bit earlier in the evening. Perhaps my body is responding better because of the smoothies? It’s hard to tell.

Ingredients for the Peanut Butter Fruit and Nut Granola Bars in bowls on a tablePeanut butter mixtured poured over the dry ingredients of the Peanut Butter Fruit and Nut Granola Bars Recipe.

But despite my mild cold, I still went for long walks. We’ve been having sprinkly, and relatively warm weather lately making it really nice to head outside; my inspiration for these grab n’ go chewy granola bars. I guess being back outdoors regularly for some exercise has made me feel like Spring is not too far away.

Song birds have started singing their sweet melodic songs again, our camellia is about to bloom and the short days are slowly, but noticeably, getting longer.

The Peanut Butter Fruit and Nut Granola mixture is poured on a baking dish with parchment paper. It is spread and pressed firmly.

One of my favorite things to have on hand is grab n’ go snacks (so much so I wrote a recipe book on the subject!). Things I can put together relatively quickly and is easily portable. You’ve seen them floating around Vanilla And Bean; from pumpkin kasha energy bites and maple pecan granola to bourbon date nut truffles (sub espresso for bourbon for non celebratory snacks!).

Besides fruit, nuts or dreaded grab the bag of black pepper Kettle chips and eat a few devour the whole bag, I like to have better-for-me options on hand.

A Few Recipe Notes

  • These are not no bake granola bars, y’all. Toasting the nuts, seeds and oats prior to assembly brings out deeper nutty flavors and textures. It’s worth the effort.
  • These bars are chewy, yet have a nice crunch from the nuts and seeds, naturally sweetened with maple and brown rice syrup.
  • Drizzle with chocolate, either bittersweet or semisweet (I went with raw cacao). This is optional, depending on your needs. I find the chocolate can get messy if it’s warm out!
  • These Peanut Butter Granola Bars store for weeks in the fridge and are easily portable (sans chocolate). They are also vegan and optionally gluten free.

Chewy, toasty, peanut buttery and sweetened with maple and brown rice syrup, these granola bars come together quick and hold up for weeks in the fridge. They are vegan and optionally gluten free.

Ingredients

For the Bars:

  • 3 C Thick Rolled Oats not quick oats, 333 g
  • 1 1/2 C Mixed Raw Unsalted Nuts; I use walnuts, pecans, and almonds (210 g)
  • 1/2 C Raw Sunflower Seeds 76 g
  • 1/2 C Dried Cranberries 74 g
  • 1/2 C Dried Apricots 106 g
  • 1 1/3 C Natural Peanut Butter crunchy (345 g)
  • 3/4 C Maple Syrup 230 ml
  • 1/2 C Brown Rice Syrup 170 ml
  • 1 tsp Sea Salt
  • 1 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract

For Drizzling (optional):

  • 4 Tbs Dark Cacao + 2 Tbs Coconut Oil melted and still warm *see note, I use raw Cacao

Instructions

For the Bars:

  • Preheat oven to 350F. Line a baking sheet pan with parchment and pour the oats on so that they are spread evenly. Toast the oats for 25-30 minutes or until golden and toasty. On a separate pan, toast all the nuts for 18-20 and on a third separate pan, toast the seeds for 15-20 minutes or until golden and toasty. We want to keep the nuts and sunflower seeds separated as the nuts will be chopped and the sunflower seeds need to remain whole. (round cake pans work well here).
  • Line a 13"x9" baking dish with parchment paper. Secure the parchment paper to the two long sides with clips.
  • While the nuts, seeds and oats are toasting, rough chop the cranberries and apricots. Add them to a large mixing bowl. Set aside.
  • In a 2 quart sauce pan, mix the peanut butter, maple syrup, brown rice syrup, salt and vanilla extract until all the ingredients come together. Gently warm the mixture on low just until it is pourable. If needed, use a whisk to get the ingredients to come together.
  • Add the toasted oats and sunflower seeds to the large mixing bowl with the dried fruit. Rough chop the nuts and add them to the dried fruit/oat/nut mixture in the large mixing bowl.
  • Pour the peanut butter mixture over the dry ingredients and mix throughly.
  • Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly in the dish. Use your hands to press the mixture in. The firmer the press, the better!
  • Refrigerate the granola for at least 1 1/2 hours or freeze for 30 minutes.
  • Lift the granola out of the pan using the parchment as handles. Cut into 1 1/2" x 4" bars.
  • Store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks or freezer for up to a month.

For the Drizzle (optional):

  • Mix the cacao and warmed oil in a small bowl. Mix until ingredients are incorporated. Drizzle over the granola bars. Pop in the fridge for a few minutes to allow chocolate to set.

Notes

Raw Cacao drizzle will be bitter. If a sweeter chocolate is desired, melt 1/4 C Vegan SemiSweet Chocolate Chips (44 g) according to package directions.

    Hey Traci! I am FINALLY getting around to trying these today! Of course, I do not have several of the ingredients, but I went for it anyway. They are chilling now. And smell so good! (I didn’t have dried apricots so I replaced with chopped, dried figs and a little chopped coconut. Also, didn’t have rice syrup…or enough maple syrup! So I did a mixture of maple syrup, golden syrup, raw honey, and brown sugar! eek….Okay, so now you are wondering if these are really even your bars! haha…But I can’t wait to taste them. And next time I get out I am going to get the correct ingredients!) Thanks for the lovely recipe. I am always excited to try new bar recipes.

        They are so good! And I froze them for 30 minutes (like you suggested) and then removed them from the pan and cut them to bar size, and they are holding up well! I think I’ll keep them In the freezer though, until I’m ready to eat one. Oh, they’re so good. Just had one for breakfast. Thank you!

    Hi I tried these and they are absolutely delicious – I had to swop out the brown rice syrup as I wasn’t able to find any (joys of living in Africa!). I passed on to some friends who are now pestering me to make them some. Thanks a lot so great to get an easy and yummy recipe. Keep them coming !

    I’m a big fan of chewy granola bars, and will totally look the other way when they’re crunchy. Do you have something to suggest for a substitution for the brown rice syrup or should I just wait til I get to the store?

      February 2, 2015 at 8:25 pm

      Oh Heidi! I think a sub that may work, although I haven’t tried it, would be date paste, if you have dates on hand. It will make them a lot sweeter, but that’s what first comes to mind. I love your enthusiasm! If you don’t have dates on hand, I’d wait. Would love to know how they turn out if you do use dates! :D Thanks for stopping by!

    Oh my, Traci – these look so perfect! I love how simple they are to make, too. I’ve always assumed that making your own granola bars would be a complicated process, but you’ve proven me wrong! These definitely do look like a great healthy snack when you’re on the go. I’m a little jealous that you’re starting to hear birds singing! We’ve got a long way to go before I hear that in Chicago… :) Oh, and I hope you and Rob get better soon!

      Yeah, they really are pretty simple to make. The key is in the toasting of the oats, nuts and seeds. It really brings out their flavors.

      You’re in a deep freeze in the East! Oh no! Then I won’t tell you of the lovely walk we had at sunset this evening…

    Traci, how did you know I was craving a new granola bar?! I have been making my tried and true no-bake bars for the past year or so, and while I love them dearly, I need a flavor change up. (Kind of like my hair – but these are an easier decision!) I can’t wait to try these out. Also, I hope you’re feeling better! I’m glad you were able to get out of the house for some fresh air. The past couple days here in Lexington have been sunny and in the high 40s (gasp!) and so I also seized the opportunity to get back out on my favorite trail. And more exercise = more hunger = these snack bars! :)

    So sorry to hear that you’re sick. Rob too. If it makes you feel any better, my son threw up all over me in the middle of the night ;( That was fun. Something is certainly going around, even here on the east coast!

    I’ll take some of these delicious-looking granola bars. Yum. Peanut butter and chocolate are made for each other AND I love the fact that you use brown rice syrup! That’s how I make my bars. It gives it that ‘chew.’ I make bars for the kids a lot.

I don’t ever feel like cooking lately and not really wild about any food we ever have around the house but I need to eat.. so these are just perfecto. IF for any reason that package gets lost in the mail.. I will have to make my own batch :D Maybe you should write a like.. healthy snacks ebook! Your smoothies and other healthy treats are always perfect!

    I can’t wait to try these! If I wasn’t “stuck” home with sick kids, I’d run and get the few ingredients I don’t have on hand! They look great! And oh, yes, go Hawks!

    You have set the scene beautifully. There’s nothing I’d rather do right now than grab one of these bars and head out for a long walk and listen to the sweet songs of the birds… I would even put the kettle chips away for the flavors in this granola! Thank you, Traci!

      Such restraint, Annie. Those Kettle chips are a weakness! If I had it my way, I’d sprinkle Kettle chips on everything! :D

    I’m jealous of the warmer weather you’ve had! I miss going out on long walks – it’s just been to cold for that here lately. I keep crossing my fingers that spring will come extra early!

    These bars look fantastic. :)

      Awh, I wish you warmer weather soon, Chelsea! I guess 48F is considered warmer… considering where we’ve been! Thank you, Chelsea! :D
