Vegan Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Granola Bars

Vegan Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Granola Bars made just 4 ingredients! These are such an easy gluten-free and homemade chewy granola bar recipe anyone and everyone loves!

I used to have an absolute obsession with chewy granola bars. They were always in my bag and a complete pantry staple. Looking back it is comical that I thought those 90 calorie bars filled with sh!t would fill me up – but we have come a long way since then.

You guys know I am a huge snack bar gal. I always share my favorites over on Instagram. And I love making my homemade chewy granola bars too when we want a more traditional granola bar. They are the type of snack you can serve to the whole fam or enjoy the batch yourself. We demolish them over here in a couple days. And Ezra loves having them as dessert too.

I love that these are made with only 5 ingredients and they take less than 10 minutes to whip up. It just doesn’t get easier guys!

The key part in making these is letting the bars cool after they bake. Before slicing into bars, let them cool a bit or they will fall apart on you and we of course don’t want that to happen.

If you guys make these, let me know what you think! I hope you love them as much as we do!!

How to make homemade chewy granola bars:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a 9×9 baking dish with parchment paper
2. In a large bowl, mix the oats and cereal
3. In a separate bowl, mix together the nut butter and maple syrup
4. Pour the wet mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients and use a spatula to mix everything together (I used my hands too)
5. Fold in dark chocolate then firmly press the granola bar mixture into the baking dish
6. Bake in oven for 6 to 8 minutes
7. Remove the tin from the oven and let cool completely before removing and slicing into bars! This is key or your bars will fall apart!! You can add them to fridge to cool faster too
