Best Almond Butter No Bake Granola Bars

Ever since I tried this smoothie last year, I’ve been in love with almond butter.

I’ve made that smoothie countless times. I even make them ahead of time so I can grab them in the morning on my way out the door. I’ve shared my love for them on social media but have never posted about it here because, well, the recipe isn’t mine to share. But oh, how I do love those things madly!

I decided to experiment with a few almond butter recipes and decided on these no bake granola bars as one of my new favorites, so of course I have to share them!

Almond Butter No Bake Granola Bar Ingredients

These are so simple to make, and nothing fancy is required. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • Chocolate Coconut Cashew & Almond Butter – Or your favorite almond butter flavor.
  • Coconut Oil – I use virgin organic. Refined and unrefined will both work fine.
  • Honey – Use your preference here.
  • Rolled Oats – Old Fashioned Rolled Oats work best for these no bake granola bars.
  • Salt – Just a pinch!

How To Make No Bake Granola Bars

  1. Melt: Add almond butter, honey, coconut oil, and salt to a saucepan and melt over low heat.
  2. Combine: Stir in oats and remove from heat.
  3. Press & Refrigerate: Pour into a parchment lined baking dish and refrigerate.

Variations, Substitutions, and Cooking Tips

Switch up the nut butter – As I mentioned, you can use any flavor almond butter. Even plain will do. But you can use any nut butter you like, including peanut butter, sunflower butter, or cashew butter.

Add dried fruit – Dried cranberries, raisins, chopped dried apricot, and dates are all great additions. You can even throw in some crystallized ginger or shredded coconut!

Add some sweet treats – After stirring in the oats, you can swirl in a handful of regular or white chocolate chips, M&Ms, even caramel sauce.

Swap out the honey – You can use maple syrup or agave nectar in place of the honey if you prefer.

Add seasoning – Cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, a dash of vanilla extract all are great additions to no bake granola bars.

Add more healthy ingredients for a punch of nutrition – Stir in sunflower seeds, flaxseed, chopped almonds, chia seeds, or even protein powder.

Line the pan – Use parchment or wax paper to line the baking dish so it’s easy to remove the bars.

Storage – Keep the no bake granola bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer for up to a week.
