Introduction

Granola bars to help satisfy that craving for something sweet but low calorie. I am soy free, gluten free and dairy free so I make these to substitute for regular granola bars.

Ingredients

    1 3/4 cups gluten-free oats
    3/4 cups gluten free Whole O’s cereal
    3/4 cups gluten free Crispy rice cereal
    1/2 cup chopped almonds
    1/3 cup lightly packed light-brown sugar
    2-3 tablespoons gf/df butter
    3 tablespoons almond butter
    2 tablespoons ground flaxseeds
    1/3 cup honey- add more if needed
    1 tsp vanilla extract

Tips

I place them in the freezer for about half an hour so they harden. Then I leave them out to defrost for about an hour. Then I cut and store them.


Directions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees
Line 11 x 14 baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Spray with nonstick cooking spray, leaving a 1-inch overhang on all sides. Set aside.
Place oats, whole Os, almonds, flaxseeds and rice cereal in a large bowl; stir to combine. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan, mix together brown sugar, almond butter, vanilla and honey. Place over medium-high heat; bring to a gentle boil. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Remove from heat and add dry ingredients; stir until mixture is fully coated and well combined.
Evenly pour entire mixture into prepared baking pan. Press mixture down in pan, tight. Bake 5-10 minutes until browned and crispy. Let fully cool and place in refrigerator for 30 minutes after cooling. Cut into 1 inch x 5 inch bars. Makes about 30.
Keeps well at room temperature, properly stored in a container for over a week or keep frozen for over a month’s time and defrost when you wish to eat them.
