No-Bake Double Chocolate Super Amazing Granola Bars
By Published 05/15/2014
Chocolate-infused no-bake granola bars made using rolled oats, nuts, seeds and natural sweeteners like maple syrup!
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 4 Tbsp chia seeds
- 5 Brazil nuts, chopped
- 2 Tbsp extra virgin coconut oil, melted
- 2 – 2 1/2 Tbsp nut butter (almond or peanut)
- 3 pinches pink salt
- 1/2 tsp turmeric (optional, sub with cinnamon)
- 3/4 cup sprouted raw pumpkin seeds, salted
- 1 1/2 Tbsp cocoa powder, unsweetened
- 2 Tbsp mini chocolate chips, vegan
- 2 Tbsp – 1/3 cup maple syrup, grade B
- 1-2 Tbsp vegan chocolate chips (for chocolate drizzle)
- 1 Tbsp coconut oil (for chocolate drizzle)
Instructions
- Add all the ingredients to a large mixing bowl and blend well until combined.
- Line a small casserole or baking dish with parchment paper.
- Spread the mixture over the parchment paper and flatten with a spatula to smooth.
- Place the dish in the freezer for at least 20-30 minutes to chill.
- Warm the chocolate drizzle mixture in the microwave or stovetop – stir until silky and liquid. About 60 seconds in the microwave is the fast way – simmer on the stove or over a double broiler for the longer way.
- Pull the bars and drizzle or pour the chocolate over top. The chocolate will firm up from the cold bars. Slice and serve or store. Store in the freezer or fridge.
