Notes

  • Use your hands to mix the dry ingredients and the sweetener mixture.
  • Wrap the granola bars in parchment paper and store them in airtight containers or resealable plastic bags to prolong shelf life.
  • Instead of pressing the mixture into a baking pan, you can spread it evenly on a silicone cereal bar mold using a rolling pin.
  • If you used the silicone cereal bar mold, gently remove the bars from the mold and transfer them onto a plate or parchment paper to serve or pack.
  • Limit consumption to 50 grams of granola every day.
  • Granola bars that are too soft may be due to the lack of sweeteners that combine the ingredients together.
  • You can try adding more honey to the pitted dates before blending them in the food processor.
  • Furthermore, ensure that you are coating all of the ingredients in the sweetener to allow them to adhere and stick together.
