    I tend to eat small meals and eat often during the day. This leads to times when I want a snack instead of a veggie bean or other meal type thing. The snackage often includes more savory like a Sriracha Orange Peanut Granola or Indian Spiced Trail Mix. Other times its bars like this one which are mildly sweet and full of seeds and nuts.

    This super easy granola bar is what says it is. Super easy, seedy and amazing! Toasty, gingery, chocolatey and all kind of fun. The seeds are toasted to a golden. Oats are toasted as well. You can use other flaked grain as quinoa or rice flakes. Candied ginger chopped and added. Melt the chocolate and fold in. Shape, chill and done. Add other spices or none. Add some dried cranberries or candied orange peel instead of ginger. many possibilities! 

    If you make this or a variation, do tag me on IG or leave me a comment on this post. I love to hear about how it turned out. I get a lot of ideas from you all!

      Everyone in my family loved it.
      I used almond butter and dried cranberries instead of peanut butter and ginger.
      It won’t last long in the fridge. 🙂

      Second time making. Amazing snack! Very tasty and worked well. Didn’t have issues with it crumbling, but I’ve been rolling them into bite size balls.

      So delicious! I followed the recipe but mine came out more crumbly than I would like. Any tips on getting them to be more solid? Perhaps adding more chocolate would help?

      Made these with 2 ounces unsweetened Baker’s chocolate instead plus about 3 tablespoons date syrup. A little crumbly but oh so good!

      Hi!
      What do you mean by “old fashioned” oats?
      Thank you
