In need of a healthy snack that will satisfy you hunger as well as your sweet tooth? Make these No-Bake Pecan Fig Granola Bars with a Coconut Glaze that take no more than 10 minutes to make! Also Gluten-Free and Vegan!Fun fact: I used to eat granola bars like it was my job.  In fact, the Quaker chewy granola bars were my favorite. Back when I was 10 years old, I thought these bars were actually good for me.  

Ya know, the chocolate dipped ones with the sugary peanut butter and partially-hydrogenated oils.  My ten year old self thought way different about food than I do now.  

My ten year-old self’s mentality was more like this about “healthy food:” “oh these granola bars are healthy and good for me?  I’ll eat ten in one sitting.”

Okay, maybe not in one sitting, but I could easily polish off a box in one day.  They were my favorite part about lunch time at school, afternoon snack when I got home, and my post-dinner snack.  Ok, so I guess you get the picture about my love for granola bars.

Thankfully in my later teenage years, I realized that these granola bars dubbed “healthy” were actually not healthy at all.  And I figured out that making my own granola bars are not only fun to create, but also extremely easy to make!

    If there ever exists a position that would hire me to eat THESE granola bars for my job you better believe I’ll be the first to apply! I fell in love with them the moment I saw the word fig in the title <3 Fig in a chewy snack form, what could be better!? Oh yeah the fact that they are GLAZED! Omg, you just kicked Quaker's butt in the chewy bar department!

    These look great! I’m trying to make my own for my 3 year old at the moment as she loves the bought ones too much so it’s always good to get a few new ideas.

    I LOVE homemade granola bars! Just like you I thought the store-bought kind was a ‘healthy’ school snack. The fact that I also wanted to eat them for dessert after dinner should have given me a clue 😉 Love the figs in your recipe.

    The combo of figs and pecans makes me want to chuck a triple back with no spring floor, that’s how good it is! And such a compliment coming from you since you are the no-bake king 🙂

    P.S My beam series is a flick-flack layout 2 feet, minus the onodi. I tried onodis on the beam once but needless to say that they weren’t the skill for me lol.

    I heart granola bars, but that coconut glaze you added just takes it to a whole ‘nother level!

    (I ate over 500 Nature Valley Oats n’ Honey bars during my sophomore year in college. x_x To this day, I can’t eat those anymore without thinking about organic chemistry. :'( )
