Ingredients

  • 40 g soy protein or other plant-based protein
  • 180 g rolled oats
  • 40 g oat bran or equivalent rolled oats
  • 60 g flax seed
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon ground
  • 75 g raisins or cranberries or other dried fruit chopped
  • 45 g pumpkin seeds
  • 45 g sunflower seeds
  • 240 g almond butter or tahini (sesame butter), peanut butter or sunflower seed butter
  • 120 g agave nectar (or honey for a non-vegan version)
  • 2 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven to 350°C / 175°F)
  • Mix all the dry ingredients (i.e., the first 8 ingredients above) together in a large mixing bowl.
  • Mix the liquid ingredients (i.e., the last 4 ingredients above) together in a mixing bowl.
  • Blend together the contents of both bowls using a large wooden spoon. You do not need to blend a long time. Merely make sure the ingredients are mixed gently together (like you would with muffins) and that the raisins and seeds are spread throughout the mixture.
  • Line a large baking dish or cookie sheet with baking paper. The size of your pan will depend on the quantity you make of the granola bars. The dough should be about one-half to three-quarters inch (about 1 to 1.5 centimeters) high.
  • Place the pan in the oven on a middle rack for about 20 minutes or until golden brown on top.
  • Remove the pan from the oven and let the bars cool completely before cutting into individual bars. It's cleaner if the bars are cool or cold, yet you might not be patient enough to let it cool. If I make them in the evening I try to put them in the fridge over night, but this is not necessary.

  • Cut the individual bars into the size that you like. Wrap them in waxed paper with a rubber band for future consumption. See notes.

Notes

It's best to store your bars in a cool dry place.  They can stay on a counter easily a month if properly wrapped. Storage in a refrigerator or a freezer will preserve your Healthy Vegan Protein Granola Bars for up to one year.  If you freeze them, just take them out the night before so they thaw out for the next day.
