Sticky, Chewy, Delicious

If there’s anything I like more than good old granola, it’s definitely granola bars. I know, many prepackaged varieties are complete gimmicks and rip-offs. What could be easier than sticking those dry ingredients together? Plus, the increase in cost can become astronomical when you factor in excessive packaging.

Thankfully, I happened to have plenty of raw materials still on my hands, so I decided to cut out the middleman in this situation and  use what I had on hand to make a pan of chewy granola bars.

Selecting the Peanut Butter granola to best compliment my sticky concoction made primarily from peanut butter, these bars are impossibly addictive. Plus, it’s so incredibly easy to put together with no actual baking required, it may be hard to stop at just one batch. Thankfully, you can just as easily double the recipe and press it into a 9 x 13-inch pan, too.

Chewy Peanut Butter Granola Bars

Chewy Peanut Butter Granola Bars

Only 4 ingredients and about 5 minutes of work stand between you and these incredibly addictive, chewy and super nutty granola bars

Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 5 minutes
Total Time 5 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1/2 Cup Brown Sugar
  • 1/2 Cup Light Agave
  • 1/2 Cup Creamy Peanut Butter
  • 3 Cups Peanut Butter Granola

Instructions

  1. Lightly grease an 8 x 8 square baking dish. Place the granola in a large bowl and set aside.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, agave, and peanut butter, and cook over medium heat until fully combined and smooth; bring just to a boil. Pour the liquid ingredients over the cereal, mix well to fully coat all of the dry granola, and press it evenly into your prepared pan.
  3. Let cool completely before cutting, although you can always speed up this process in the fridge. Because they are so soft, I might suggest wrapping them individually (for both freshness and ease) and storing them in the fridge. However, I can’t say for sure on this one, because my ravenous dorm mates gobbled them all up within an hour!

  1. oh my goodness gracious, Hannah – these are calling my name, loud and clear!!! what a fantastic use for the Nature’s Path granola (especially since most of their pre-packaged granola bars are NOT vegan – yay for VEGAN granola bars!!). There’s no way that I’m going to be able to get the image of these Chewy Peanut Butter Granola Bars out of my head!! ahh!! :0D

  8. Hannah, these look divine! I am suppose to stay away from peanuts/peanut butter during the pregnancy, so I will have to wait a few more months to try these.

    Hmmm…dipping them in chocolate would be nice, too.

  13. Hannah,
    do you mind if i make these tonight and post the results up on my blog? I will change the recipe up a little bit!

    I am babysitting my niece, and this would be a great activity to do with her and my daughter!

    I will be sure to reference where i got the original recipe! :)

    thank you!

  15. The granola bars look fabulous! I just feel like eating them right off the screen! I have some questions to ask you about vegan cupcakes. Can you give me your email address? Thanks!

  17. Looks delicious! I wouldn’t be able to keep them and eat when I need one though, I’d gooble them down in one go and then I’d have to make new ones.

  18. Hey, these look amazingly delicous! I should try to make some of those amazing critters at home! Its just amazing! And also Devine! I love this sooo much Hannah, my younger sister saw them and started crying that she wanted some!

  20. Ooo delicious! I’ve been trying to find healthier granola bars and this recipe sounds perfect. Much better to make them myself than buy them. I hope mine turn out as well as yours look! :)

  22. I made some of these a while back. I used regular granola, because I already had some. They were delicious. Thank you! :)
