Take note
Be careful not to overbake the granola bars, as they can become too hard. Also, make sure to let them cool completely before cutting into bars, or they may crumble.

1

Prepare the ingredients

Gather 1 cup of nuts (e.g., almonds, cashews, walnuts), 1 cup of unsweetened shredded coconut, 1/4 cup of honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option), 1/4 cup of nut butter (e.g., almond butter, peanut butter), 1/4 cup of coconut oil (melted), 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.

2

Mix it all together

In a large bowl, combine the nuts and shredded coconut. In a separate microwave-safe bowl, mix the honey (or maple syrup), nut butter, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and salt. Microwave for 20-30 seconds, or until the mixture is warm and easier to stir. Pour the warm mixture over the nuts and coconut, and stir until everything is well coated.

3

Bake the granola bars

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking dish with parchment paper. Transfer the mixture from the bowl into the lined baking dish, and press it down firmly to create an even layer. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.

4

Cut into bars and enjoy

Once the granola bar mixture has cooled completely, use a sharp knife to cut it into bars of your desired size. Store the grain-free granola bars in an airtight container, and grab one whenever you need a satisfying and healthy snack!
