I made my Easy 3-Ingredient Granola and had some leftover. What to do with it? How about some granola bars? Theses are not too sweet, not too chocolaty, gluten free, dairy free, no oil and no eggs.

That makes them a little guilt free for me!

I make these from leftover granola I made the week prior that didn’t make it into my plant based Oui yogurt (the I recycle the adorable jars to use for mini desserts later).

Add-Ins and Substitutions

If you don’t have sweetened coconut on hand any dried fruit will do. I have used dried apricots, cranberries, and raisins. Looking for some extra omega-3‘s? Toss in some walnuts. This is a great chance to use up the little bits stored away as leftovers of another recipe.

Storing

Store leftovers in an airtight container or sealed bag for 5 days.

The carbs in oats are mostly starches and fiber. They pack more protein and fat than most other grains and are a good source of beta glucan, a unique, soluble fiber linked to multiple health benefits. Oats offer high amounts of many vitamins and minerals, such as manganese, phosphorus, copper, B vitamins, iron, selenium, magnesium, and zinc. They are the only dietary source of powerful antioxidants called avenathramides. They also contain ferulic acid and phytic acid. Oats vast benefits include potentially reducing cholesterol and blood sugar levels. What’s more, they’re very filling and naturally gluten-free — but may be contaminated with glutenous grains.
