I am an absolute fan of snacks. I think I would barely make it through the days at work if I didn't have my little in-between energy boosters to get me back on track.
I'm someone who can't eat large portions at once. Even if I bring a ravenous appetite to the table for lunch, I'm hungry again after three hours at the latest.
That's where my super delicious and very simple vegan granola bars come into play. I use oats as a base - a healthy and natural source of energy. But the grain alone would be a bit boring. That's why I spice up the bars with amaranth, cornflakes, coconut flakes, almonds and chia seeds.
You can let your creativity run wild. Whether you want to add dried fruit or other nuts, there are no limits. A little tip: Add a tablespoon of peanut butter to flavour the bars.
Just make sure you get a sticky consistency and press the mixture really well to the bottom of the baking dish. Alternatively, you can spread the mixture out on a baking tray, then you just get the granola mixture instead of bars.
