No-Bake Nut and Seed Bars

These no-bake nut and seed bars feature quinoa, dried fruit, nuts and seeds and are completely vegan, gluten-free and oil-free.

Today I thought it would be fun to share a no-bake granola bar recipe that’s simple and easy to make. You know the oh-so popular fruit and nut bars that you buy at the grocery store that are usually oh-so not healthy for you even though they’re advertised as healthy?

Yeah. Sorry to say. But have no fear! These granola bars taste just as good if not better than the store-bought ones, and you know you’re only eating the good stuff because you’ll know what’s in them. And, you can totally customize them with whatever dried fruits, nuts, and seeds you love.

These amazing vegan granola bars feature wholesome ingredients like nuts, quinoa, oats, seeds, peanut butter and dried fruit. Top them with chocolate for special treat!

I happen to be a fan of dried apricots, walnuts, almonds, sunflower and pumpkin seeds. But you could easily use pecans, Brazil nuts, hemp seeds, raisins and cranberries or whatever you love the most.

Next we have natural peanut butter (or your favourite nut butter), maple syrup, and calcium rich molasses. These help bring everything together.

These bars pack a mean crunch thanks to the addition of toasted quinoa! They’re a super simple and healthy go-to snack. It takes about 10 minutes to mix everything together and although it’s not required…just highly recommended…the dark chocolate topping is the perfect little addition that makes theses granola bars out-of-this-world. Plus, they’re chock-full of protein, fiber, and healthy fats.
