No Bake Molasses Granola Bars


http://schneiderchen.de | © 2014 | http://angiesrecipes.blogspot.com




These granola bars were adapted from No-Bake Granola Bars from David Lebovitz. They are soft, chewy, but won't stick to your teeth, sweetened with molasses and rich in nutrients and fiber. These make-ahead granola bars travel well and are perfect for the office or on-the-go breakfast.

  • 130 g Porridge oats
  • 40 g Sesame seeds, toasted
  • 60 g Almonds, roughly chopped
  • 75 g Roasted salted peanuts, roughly chopped
  • 50 g Dark chocolate, chopped
  • 80 g Dried physalis
  • 70 g Dried prunes, quartered
  • 65 g Creamy peanut butter
  • 110 g Molasses
  1. Line a 12x28-cm rectangular or 24-cm square-shaped pan with plastic wrap. Place sesame seeds in a small oil-water-free pan over medium heat. Shake the pan so that they are evenly spread in a thin layer. Toast, stirring from time to time with a wooden spoon, for 2-3 minutes until lightly golden brown. Transfer them into into a bowl. Add oats, chopped almonds, peanuts, chocolates and dried fruits. Set aside.
  2. Heat peanut butter and molasses in a saucepan, stirring until warm, but not boiling. Pour the mixture into the oat mixture. Stir until completely incorporated.
  3. Transfer the mixture into the prepared pan and press it down until uniformly flattened. Cover and freeze for 30 minutes. Remove and cut into slices.

  28. I love that you don't have to bake these granola bars. My favorite ones to purchase are Kind Bars but have since learned to duplicate them to some degree. I'd much rather make my own than buy them so I know exactly what's in them. These sound like a recipe I'll need to try. I'm sure my family will be a fan of them. Thanks for sharing.

    ReplyDelete
  29. @Susan Susan, porridge oats are fine flakes. I believe that old fashioned ones are relatively thicker and coarser.

  36. I love the idea of not having to turn on the oven to make these healthy bars Angie! Great snack to have on hand.

    ReplyDelete
  37. I like the no bake part. The oven is always full cooking so having one or two things that do not need it is amazing.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Love every ingredient in your granola bars. Must try them!! Thank you!

    ReplyDelete
  39. These sound great but i am wondering what physalis is and where it goes into this. You stump em every time, Angie!
