DIY Granola Bars

Vegan, Refined Sugar-Free
Serves 12
40 minutes

Ingredients

½ cup smooth peanut butter

1/3rd cup pure maple syrup

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

2 cups whole rolled oats (not quick-cooking or instant)

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line an 8 × 8-inch baking pan with a 10-inch square of parchment paper.
In a small saucepan or saucier, mix together the peanut butter and maple syrup. Gently heat the mixture over low heat, whisking with a fork, just until it’s warm enough for the ingredients to incorporate and become smooth.
Remove from heat. Let the mixture cool a bit. Mix in the vanilla, then add the oats, salt, and cinnamon and mix very well.
Firmly press the oat mixture into the pan. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the sides of the bars are lightly browned.
Remove the pan from oven and let cool for about 10 minutes. Slice into bars!
