Salted Caramel Granola Bars

Salted Caramel Granola Bars

These salty-sweet granola bars might taste decadent, but they’re made with wholesome ingredients. Caramel adapted from Nutrition Stripped’s Raw Caramel with Apples.

§  Prep Time: 10 minutes

§  Total Time: 10 minutes

§  Yield: 12 granola bars

Ingredients

§  1/2 cup maple syrup (use Grade B if you have it)

§  1/3 cup unsweetened almond butter

§  3 tablespoons coconut oil (solid, not melted)

§  2 Medjool dates, pitted and quartered

§  1 teaspoon vanilla extract

§  1 1/2 cups old-fashioned oats

§  1/2 cup coarsely chopped raw almonds

§  1/4 cup chia seeds, hemp hearts, mini chocolate chips, sunflower seeds, coconut flakes, or other add-ins

§  1 teaspoon fleur de sel

Instructions

1.       Combine the maple syrup, almond butter, coconut oil, dates, and vanilla extract in the small bowl of a food processor. Process until completely smooth; the mixture should resemble caramel when it’s finished.

2.       Stir together the remaining ingredients in a medium bowl. Pour the caramel mixture over the top and use a wooden spoon (or your hands) to combine.

3.       Grease a small square baking dish with coconut oil. Press the granola bar mixture into the dish and cover it with plastic wrap or foil. Refrigerate the granola bars for about 2 hours, or until set. Once set, cut the bars into 12 equal pieces. Store the bars in the refrigerator for up to a week or freeze them for up to 2 months.
