Ingredients and Substitutes

This section explains how to choose the best toppings for your baked granola bars, what each ingredient does in the recipe, and substitution options.For measurements, see recipe card below.

• oatmeal – Granola bar recipes work best with rolled oats rather than whole or instant oats. If you are sensitive to gluten, buy gluten-free oats.
• Almond powder – I use Wholesome Yum Almond Flour because it has a very fine texture. If you need to avoid nuts, sunflower seed flour should also work.
• sea ​​salt – Balanced sweetness.
• raisin – Adds natural sweetness and chewy texture to breakfast granola bars. You can use any kind of dried fruit, as long as the chunks are finely chopped.
• dried cranberries – I do it myself Unsweetened Dried Cranberriesbut store-bought ones are also available.
• almond – extra crunch! Substitute your favorite nuts or seeds if you like (the nut-free option uses seeds).
• sugar – I use regular honey and unsweetened honey At different times, both worked fine. Pure maple syrup should also work (for vegans), but I haven’t tested it to confirm.
• brown sugar or sweetener – I use Besti Brown Monk Fruit Allulose Blend Same flavor and moisture as brown sugar, without the added sugar! However, you can also use traditional brown sugar or coconut sugar.
• unsalted butter – I prefer grass fed butter, but any will do. coconut oil with butter Can also be used in dairy-free baked granola bars.
• chocolate chips – this sugar-free variety Varieties taste great and are all natural, but use whatever you like. I melt and drizzle them over chocolate bars, but you can also fold them into the mixture to make oatmeal chocolate bars.

Changes: optional add-ons!

If you like these flavors, you can add a teaspoon of vanilla extract or cinnamon.
