These healthy granola bars are packed with good-for-you ingredients, like oats, dried fruit, nuts, and seeds to provide healthy macro and micronutrients to fuel your day. Plus, these healthy snack bars are refined sugar-free, dairy-free, egg-free, oil-free, gluten-free, Paleo, and vegan!

It’s time to ditch ‘convenient’ store-bought granola bars loaded with sugar, empty calories, and preservatives from your meal plan. Instead, replace them with easy homemade healthy granola bars that fuel your body with great macro and micronutrients (vitamins and minerals). Plus, with only a few minutes to prep these healthy snack bars, you’ll never need (or want) to buy them again!

These naturally vegan granola bars are a nutritional powerhouse with a combination of ingredients that provide plenty of fiber, plant-based protein, and healthy fats. That’ll keep you satisfied until your next meal and way from that bag of chips! Plus, the nutty, chewy, sweet combination is perfect for those who have a breakfast or snacking sweet tooth (adults and kids).

These muesli bars are also made primarily of inexpensive pantry staples, helping you save money and be in 100% control of the ingredients used. And did I mention they’re super versatile too? In fact, there are hundreds of different ingredient combinations and mix-ins you can play around with!

Best of all, once these homemade granola bars are prepared, they keep for up to a week at room temperature (or several months in the freezer). They also travel well, making them a perfect healthy snack for road trips and mini breaks!

I love keeping healthy snacks like these bars, healthy breakfast cookies, strawberry oatmeal bars, and lemon coconut energy balls to keep me from reaching for unhealthier choices.

With simple and versatile pantry staples, you can pull this healthy snack bar recipe together in no time.

One of the best things about making your own homemade granola bars is how easy they are to tweak and adapt to your liking. Here are a few ingredients you could experiment with for new flavors and textures.

Please read the recipe card below for the full ingredients list, measurements, complete recipe method, and nutritional information.

This easy granola bar recipe requires just a few minutes of prep before they’re ready to bake for a low-effort, high-reward snack!

Depending on the nut or seed butter you use, you may need to add more if the mixture seems too dry.

Enjoy a healthy granola bar as a midday snack, or top it up with a piece of fruit and/or some vegan yogurt (and your morning brew) to make a healthy breakfast!

Store: Allow the healthy snack bars to cool completely and then store them in an airtight container at room temperature for 5-7 days.

Freeze: Spread the bars across a baking tray, not touching, and freeze until solid. Then transfer to a Ziplock bag (or individually wrap each bar with plastic wrap or parchment paper). You can store the healthy granola bars in the freezer for 2-3 months, then allow them to thaw in the fridge overnight, at room temperature for several hours, or in the microwave.

While many store-bought granola bars contain oats, nuts/seeds, and fruit, many are also often loaded with refined sugars (and lots of them!) and other processed and junky ingredients. In some cases, the delicious granola bar you’re eating every day is actually on par with eating a candy bar for breakfast.

Luckily, these homemade granola bars are made with only natural, wholesome ingredients, unrefined sweeteners, and plenty of macros and micronutrients to nourish and fuel your body. In fact, just one muesli bar contains 7 grams of protein and 4 grams of fiber.

No-bake versions require a stronger binder to ‘glue’ everything together, i.e., Medjool dates and, optionally, coconut oil. As written, it’s unlikely that the bars would hold their shape. However, you can refer to my no-bake granola bars recipe!

I made these bars and they were delicious. I added a tsp of chia seeds also.

Hi Judy, I am so glad you liked them! 🙂

Can the tahini be omitted?? I can’t do oil.

No, as it acts as a binder. Any other nut/seed butter will work.
