Here's how to make Vegan Granola Bars within 15 minutes, so that you always have a snack with you.
What you need
- mixing bowl
- cooking pot
- a spoon
- baking dish (20 x 20cm)
- baking paper (or aluminium foil)
- knife
- chopping board
Ingredients
- rolled oats (120g)
- pitted dates (deglet nour or medjool, 150g)
- roasted, unsalted almonds (100g)
- creamy peanut butter (80g)
- agave nectar (100g)
Method
Step 1
Chop the dates and prepare the mixing bowl
Chop dates into small pieces, then add to your mixing bowl with the almonds and rolled oats.
Step 2
Warm up agave syrup and peanut butter
Place peanut butter and the agave syrup in your cooking pot and heat over low/medium heat. You should constantly stir the mixture otherwise it will stick to the bottom. After 1 minute, remove from heat, pour over the dry ingredients and mix it. Make sure to disperse the dates, otherwise the mixture won't stick together later on.
Step 3
Put in the fridge
Once mixture is combined, line a baking dish with baking paper (or aluminium foil). Spoon mixture into baking dish and flatten with your palm until the mixture forms a thin layer. Cover and place in the fridge for 20 minute.
Step 4
Cut into pieces
Take it out of the fridge and put it on the chopping board. Then cut it into pieces. Now you have a quick work or school snack for when you're on the go!
