Ingredients

  • ½ cup natural nut/seed butter
  • ½ cup liquid sweetener brown rice syrup, agave, honey if not vegan
  • ¼ cup coconut oil
  • ¼ cup non-dairy milk
  • 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats

Instructions

  • Line an 8x8 baking dish with parchment paper and set it aside.
  • In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the nut butter, liquid sweetener, coconut oil and non-dairy milk. Bring the mixture to a boil, whisking often. Once boiling, turn off the heat and remove the pan from the heat source.
  • Stir the rolled oats, one cup at a time, into the nut butter mixture until all the oats have been added and are well coated.
  • Pour the oats into your lined baking dish and use a spatula or the bottom of a glass to press them down into a flat, compact layer.
  • Place the baking dish into the fridge for about an hour to allow the bars to set. Then use the parchment paper to remove the sheet of oats and cut it into whatever shape granola bars you desire. 
  • Store the bars in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.

Notes

You can use whatever nut or seed butter you have on hand. Obviously, if you have a nut allergy, use a seed butter such as sun butter or tahini!
If you want, you can also include a handful or two of mix-ins. See the section above titled, "Fun Granola Bar Mix-Ins."
