Welp, it’s been a hot minute (more like 3 years) since I made these granola bars. It’s sad to think that I’ve forgotten about them, buttttt at least I remembered now! Better late than never 😉
Unlike your regular store-bought granola bars, these guys are super dense and hearty. They’re basically a hybrid between banana nut bread and a chewy granola bar. No complaining here !
Oh and you know how some granola bars are so hard you almost loose a tooth when you bite into them? These bars aren’t like that at all. They’re soft baked but still portable.
They’re super duper easy to make! Here is what ya need:
bananas
walnuts
raisins
oats
chia seeds
chocolate chips or cocoa nibs
cinnamon
Dats it!

WHAT KIND OF OATS DID YOU USE? OR DOES IT MATTER?? (INSTANT, STEEL CUT, QUICK, ETC?)
Hi Dom,
I used quick oats, but instant or rolled oats would also work. Steel cut would not. Hope that helps 🙂
What’s the storage recommendation and “shelf life” of these bars?
You can store them in the fridge for up to two weeks!
Hi there, all is going fine here and ofcourse every one is sharing data,
