Adventure Granola Bars
By Josephine Smith, age 15
This delicious, simple, and protein-packed granola bar is great to bring on all your adventures or as a healthy snack.
Ingredients
3 cups rolled oats (use old fashion oats or gluten-free to make bars gluten-free)
¾ cups creamy, natural peanut butter
1/3 maple syrup (you can substitute with honey)
½ cup chocolate chips (use dark chocolate for a healthier option)
2 eggs
Optional add-ins: Walnuts, pecans, chia seeds, pumpkin seeds, dried fruit, sunflower seeds, almonds, and more.
(For an extra protein boost, reduce oats by ½ cup and add ½ cup unflavored, vanilla, or chocolate protein powder.)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Mix all ingredients into a large mixing bowl. Stir well.
Place parchment paper in a 9×9 pan (or just simply grease). Dump mixture into pan and evenly spread. (Sprinkle extra nuts, seeds, chocolate chips, or more over the top now if desired.)
Bake for 14-17 minutes or until the center is baked through.
Let cool.
Once fully cool, cut into desired-sized bars.
Store in bags, ready for your next adventure, or freeze for long-lasting storage.
