    These No-Bake Chewy Granola Bars are so easy.

    how to make chewy granola bars

    In just a few minutes, you'll have homemade granola bars that are healthier than most store bought varieties, made for a fraction of the price. You can use your favorite mix-ins and your favorite granola too. I like raisins, chopped prunes (for gut and bone health!) and mini dark chocolate chips.

    About The Granola:

    I used Bakery on Main Apple Raisin Walnut Granola for this recipe, but I've used homemade granola or other brands with equal success. You just want to make certain the the granola mix has plenty of medium-sized chunks. Some larger chunks are fine, but too many little, tiny chunks will make the bars too gooey or hard to bite through. I haven't found a store-bought gluten-free mix that hasn't worked. I also make these often with my friend Sarah's Coconutty Granola recipe, and the results are fabulous. Of course, if you want to keep these dairy-free, you need to make sure the ingredients don't contain dairy.

    Ingredients
     
     

    • 4 tablespoons coconut oil
    • ½ cup packed light brown sugar or coconut sugar
    • ¼ cup honey
    • 2 ½ cups granola I used Bakery on Main’s Apple Raisin Walnut
    • 1 cup gluten-free rice cereal
    • ½ cup raisins or diced prunes
    • ½ cup semisweet dairy free chocolate chips I used Enjoy Life

    Instructions
     

    • In a medium saucepan, combine the brown sugar, honey, and coconut oil. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then lower the heat to medium-low and simmer until the sugar dissolves, about 2 minutes. Remove the saucepan from the heat.
    • Add the granola, rice cereal, and raisins to the saucepan and fold the ingredients to evenly coat with the sauce.
      Transfer the granola mixture to a 9-by-13-inch (23 x 33-cm) ungreased baking pan and press firmly to evenly fill. Gently press the chocolate chips onto the top of the granola.
    • Let the granola mixture set in the refrigerator until firm, about 15 minutes. Then, cut into bars or squares.
