granola bar recipe | homemade granola snack bars | no bake healthy oat bars with step by step photo and video recipe. energy bars or mixed dry fruit-based snack bars are one of the recent healthy meal adaptations from oats and dry fruits. it is not only quick and easy to prepare but also produce a lot of energy and protein in a small amount of bar. one such easy and simple healthy bars recipe prepared with oats are the chewy granola snack bar known for its taste.

snack or energy bars are always termed as a healthy complete meal due to the healthy ingredients used in them. but to make it tastier, it is also mixed with sugar or artificial sweetener which makes it less healthy. to mitigate this problem, i have prepared the same energy weight loss recipe with honey and dates. this should give the same sweet taste in a much healthy and efficient way. in addition, adding dates and honey would also give much-required nutrients and energy. thus making it an efficient substitute for sugar. moreover, these bars are generally prepared in an oven and baked till crisp, but i have used a stovetop method. i have individually dry roasted till it gets the crisp texture and thus making it an easily affordable recipe.

furthermore, i would also like to add some additional tips, suggestions and variants to the granola bar recipe. firstly, i have specifically skipped cashew nuts and pista for this bar recipe as it would increase the cholesterol level. yet adding these make it a tastier munching snack. secondly, these bars are generally chewy in texture, so that they can be easily served for breakfast or as energy bars. do not try to make it brittle like chikki as it may lose its charm with a hard texture. lastly, these should easily last long for a minimum of 2-3 weeks if stored in a refrigerator. you may either wrap it individually with cling wrap or even use an airtight container for the whole batch.

finally, i would like to add some more additional breakfast recipes collection with this post of granola bar recipe. it mainly includes my other related recipes like instant set dosa, green papaya roti, mtr masala dosa, bottle gourd dosa, suji ki khandvi, stuffed dosa, masala dosa, aate ka nasta, coconut dosa, aloo dosa. further to these i would also like to mention my other related recipe categories like,
