Healthy Granola Bars Recipe
Description
The recipe combines slivered almonds, chopped walnuts, pecans, shredded coconut, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, and ground flaxseed seasoned with cinnamon, optional ginger, and salt. Coconut oil, sugar alternatives such as coconut sugar or Swerve, maple syrup, and vanilla extract are mixed in to coat the dry ingredients evenly without creating excessive stickiness.
This mixture is pressed firmly into a parchment-lined baking tray and baked at 350°F until it develops a golden-brown surface. Once fully cooled, the granola is cut into sixteen bars, delivering a balance of textures from varied nuts and seeds with a mild sweet and spiced flavor. Adding chopped sugar-free chocolate integrates occasional bursts of richness.
Bars store well in an airtight container at room temperature for several days and pair nicely with tea or as a nutritious snack option.
