๐ŸŒป Vegan Sunbutter Granola Bars provide a healthy, no-bake snack option packed with wholesome ingredients and plant-based protein.
๐Ÿซ The combination of sunflower seed butter, oats, and vegan chocolate chunks offers rich flavor and satisfying texture, perfect for on-the-go energy boosts.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

– 1 cup oats (certified gluten-free if needed)

– 1 cup smooth sunflower seed butter (can substitute with almond, peanut, cashew, or mixed nut/seed butters)

– 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon maple syrup

– 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

– 1/3 cup vegan chocolate chunks

– 1 teaspoon non-dairy milk or coconut oil (optional, to adjust consistency)

– chia seeds

– hemp seeds

– chopped dates

– dried fruit such as cranberries or blueberries

– a pinch salt if sunflower seed butter is unsalted

Instructions

1-Gather and Prepare: First, line an 8-inch pan with parchment paper to make removal easy later. This simple step helps everything come out clean and neat.

2-Mix the Base: 1. Toast the oats in a skillet over medium heat for about 5 to 6 minutes until fragrant, then remove from heat to boost their flavor.
2. Warm the sunflower seed butter and maple syrup over low to medium-low heat until just hot and well mixed, then remove from heat to avoid any separation.
3. Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt if needed for extra taste.
4. Add the toasted oats to the mixture and mix well until everything is evenly combined.

3-Shape and Set: Spread the mixture evenly in the prepared pan using a spatula for a smooth layer. Next, melt the chocolate chunks with the non-dairy milk in a double boiler or microwave in short bursts, then whisk until smooth and drizzle it over the oat mixture.

Freeze for about 30 minutes to set the bars, then slice into portions. This method ensures they hold their shape, making them easy to store and enjoy on the go. For more ideas on simple snacks, check out our simple vegan snacks guide on the site.
