These no-bake granola bars are a delicious and easy-to-make snack. They are vegan, gluten-free, and perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth!
Ingredients: 1 1/2 cups rolled oats. 1/2 cup shredded coconut. 1/2 cup chopped almonds. 1/4 cup almond butter. 1/4 cup maple syrup. 1/4 cup coconut oil. 1/2 tsp vanilla extract. 1/4 tsp salt. 1/2 cup vegan dark chocolate chips.
Instructions: Line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper. In a large bowl, combine oats, shredded coconut, and chopped almonds. In a small saucepan, combine almond butter, maple syrup, coconut oil, vanilla extract, and salt. Heat over low heat until melted and well combined. Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and stir until evenly combined. Press the mixture into the prepared baking dish, pressing firmly to compact. Melt the dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. Pour the melted chocolate over the granola mixture, spreading it into an even layer. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the chocolate is set. Remove from the fridge and let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before cutting into bars. Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
