    Rustic, lightly sweetened, chewy granola bars made with properly prepared grains. A wholesome and healthy snack.

    Sprouted oat granola bars are healthy and made to be more digestible than your standard granola bars. Once you start making granola bars at home, you'll never want to buy them from the store again!

    These homemade granola bars are light, sweet, and possibly a little addicting. I would definitely put these granola bars in the soft and chewy category (as opposed to those more crunchy granola bars). You may want to keep them on your regular snack rotation.

    Recently, I've been looking for more snack recipes, but I wasn't satisfied with even some the homemade recipes that I could find, so I set out to create a granola bar made out of properly prepared grains.

    This recipe is much simpler than you would expect, especially because you can buy organic oats that have already been sprouted. They are slightly crumbly but absolutely tasty.

    Why Sprouted Oats?

    When grains are properly prepared through either fermentation, sprouting, or soaking, it reduces the amount of phytic acid that is naturally present in the food. When you reduce the amount of phytic acid, it makes it easier for your body to digest and absorb nutrients from the food.

    If you are a granola and oat lover, you will also enjoy soaked oats and soaked oat granola.

    What You Will Need

    1 cup sprouted oats (can substitute with rolled oats but not instant oats)

    10 medjool dates pitted

    1 cup nut butter (almond, peanut, cashew, etc.)

    ½ cup seeds (sunflower, pumpkin, etc.)

    1 cup dried fruit (raisins, dried apricots, etc.)

    1 cup chopped and/or whole nuts (almond, cashew, walnut, etc.)

    ¼ cup honey (can substitute with maple syrup)

    How To Make Sprouted Oat Granola Bars

    Preheat the oven to 350°F.

    In the food processor, blend the dates first adding a little filtered water as needed.

    Optional: chop the nuts in the food processor as well if they are not already chopped.

    In a medium-sized mixing bowl, mix together all of the granola bar ingredients.

    Spread the mixture eventually across a baking dish lined with a silicone baking mat. Don't spread the bars too thin or the granola bars will fall apart more easily.

    Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for about 30 minutes. You want the bars to be slightly golden but not a dark brown.

    Remove the bars from the oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes before cutting them into rectangles. They may be slightly crumbly, so make sure to cut them into smaller bars. Enjoy!
