No-Bake Granola Bars for Kids
These soft and chewy homemade granola bars are made with oats, nut or seed butter, honey, and ground flaxseed. Just mix, press, and chill for an easy make-ahead toddler and kid snack.
Equipment
- 8x8 or 9x9 square dish
Ingredients
- 1 cup nut or seed butter
- ¼ cup honey 2 tablespoon for less sweet or sub with blended dates or mashed banana for no added sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste or ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1½ cups oats
- ¼ cup ground flaxseed
- ⅓ cup optional: mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Line an 8-inch square pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang so you can lift the bars out.
- In a medium bowl, stir together the nut or seed butter, honey, and vanilla until smooth.
- Add the oats and ground flaxseed. Stir until the oats are evenly coated, then let the mixture rest for 5 minutes.
- Squeeze a small amount of the mixture in your hand. It should hold together. If it crumbles, stir in 1 additional tablespoon of nut or seed butter.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan. Press it down very firmly into an even layer, using the bottom of a measuring cup if needed.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Lift the mixture from the pan and cut into 12 small bars. Store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
