TIPS

  • Binding Tip: If the mixture feels too dry, add an extra teaspoon of honey or a few drops of water to help it hold together.
  • Texture Balance: Use crunchy peanut butter instead of smooth for added texture and a nutty crunch.
  • Portion Control: Shape the mixture into small bite-sized pieces for easy snacking and portioning.
  • No-Stick Trick: Line a plate with parchment paper before placing the granola bar to prevent sticking.
  • Meal Prep Hack: Make multiple bars in advance and store them in the fridge for quick and easy snacking throughout the week.

VARIATIONS

  • Nut-Free Version: Replace peanut butter with sunflower seed butter or tahini for a school-safe, allergy-friendly option.
  • Chocolate Chip Delight: Add ½ tbsp of dark chocolate chips for a slightly indulgent treat.
  • Extra Crunch: Mix in 1 tbsp of chopped nuts or seeds like almonds, walnuts, or chia seeds.
  • Dried Fruit Mix: Swap raisins for dried cranberries, chopped dates, or apricots for a different flavour.
  • Protein Boost: Stir in ½ scoop of vanilla or chocolate protein powder to make it a high-protein snack.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Refrigeration: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days to maintain freshness.
  • Freezing: Wrap individual bars in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature before eating.
  • Meal Prep Tip: Make a large batch and store them in portioned snack bags for easy, grab-and-go snacking.
