Description
Vegan granola bars with a twist! Oats are replaced with oat bran, and coconut and almonds are a welcome addition to these granola bars.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups oat bran
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1/3 cup chopped almonds
- 1/3 cup shredded coconut
- Melted chocolate (1/3 cup chocolate chips+1 teaspoon coconut oil, for drizzling and topping)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F, grease an 8×8 or 9×9 pan and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine all the ingredients, except for the chocolate. Make sure the mixture is combined throughly and becomes thick and somewhat sticky. If the mixture is very dry, add a bit more maple syrup and peanut butter until it can be pressed together easily. Press the mixture into the greased pan evenly and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until edges are golden brown. After cooling and cutting, drizzle with melted chocolate.
