Easy Raw Protein Granola Bars
These Raw protein bars are easy to make and packed full of sunflower seeds, oats, coconut and peanut butter!
Servings: 8 bars
Ingredients
- 8-10 Medjool dates large and deseeded
- ¾ cup sunflower seeds I used raw, unsalted
- 1 ½ cup unsweetened coconut
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 2 cups oats
- 6 tablespoon refined coconut oil
- ½ cup peanut butter or almond butter I used unsweetened
- 4 tablespoon maple syrup or local honey
- A couple of pinches of pink salt
- ¼ cup chocolate chips melted - optional
Instructions
- With your Nutri- Bullet or Food processor, add ingredients. So you don't overfill, you can add the first 4 ingredients, then blend, dump into a medium bowl. Add remaining ingredients to Nutri-bullet and blend. Pour into mixing bowl and mix everything together with a wooden spoon.
- Blend until everything is incorporated well.
- In a pan (I used 8x12) place parchment paper in the bottom, and pour ingredients in.
- Press the mix firmly and evenly in the pan.
- Refrigerate for about an hour, or freeze about a ½ hour.
- I cut mine about 5 inches long and 2 inches wide, but you can cut smaller or larger.
- If you would like to drizzle with chocolate. Melt chocolate chips in a saucepan. Add a tablespoon or 2 of milk of choice to thin them down. Drizzle chocolate over bars. Refrigerate for another few minutes to harden the chocolate.
- Store in a ziplock bag or airtight container in fridge.
Notes
*This batch of granola bars has over 70g of protein!!
