This tasty granola bar recipe was shared with some members of our team at the Dieitians of Canada conference by the Almond Board of California.
What you need:
- 2 cups rolled oats (old-fashioned oats)
- 1/2 cup roasted almonds, chopped
- 3/4 cup dried apricots, chopped
- 1/2 cup salted almond butter
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips, to garnish
- 1/4 cup white chocolate chips, to garnish
How to make:
- Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, foil, or wax paper, making sure to cover the sides of the pan.
- In a large bowl, add rolled oats, almonds, apricots, almond butter and honey. Toss together until mixture is thoroughly coated. Transfer granola mixture into prepared baking pan. Using the flat bottom of a drinking glass or measuring cup, firmly press the mixture into the pan to ensure mixture is evenly distributed.
- Cover and freeze granola for 15 minutes until firm. Lift granola out of pan and cut into 12 bars.
- Garnish with melted dark and white chocolate, as desired. Store granola bars in an airtight container in the fridge for snacking throughout the week.
