prep time: cook time: total time:
a no bake, dairy-free, healthier after-school snack alternative for the entire family! the pre-packed granola bars have got nothing on these, trust me.
ingredients:
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup brown rice crisps
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/3 cup ground flax seed
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 3 tbsp melted coconut oil
- (optional) 1 packet stevia
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup dairy-free chocolate chips
- 2 tbsp melted peanut butter
- 1/3 cup truvia nectar
- 9 pretzels
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
instructions:
- combine oats, cereal, baking soda, salt, flax seed, and stevia and mix well. add the PB, 3 tbsp coconut oil, vanilla, truvia nectar to a small bowl and microwave in 15 sec increments until the PB has melted down. combine the dry and wet ingredients and mix well. add 1/4 of the chocolate chips to the batter and mix one last time
- line a 9x9 pan with saran wrap or wax paper then wet your fingers. dump the batter into the lined pan and press it down HARD until level and flat. pop the pan into the fridge for 30 minutes
- lift chilled batter out of the square pan (using the overlapping sides of the saran wrap) and lay it on a flat surface. with a warm knife, cut into 9 squares (or however many you'd like really; the nutritional stats are for 9 squares though
- melt the remaining chocolate chips and 1 tbsp of coconut oil in the microwave in 15 sec increments. mix well until combined. place a pretzel over the top of every one of the granola squares and drizzle each one with the melted chocolate
- put back into freezer or 2 hours minimum. overnight is best!
