No-Bake Almond Blueberry Granola Bars + How to Make Almond Butter

0 · Jul 16, 2023 ·

My experience with baked granola bars has not been great. They usually all fall apart and end up too dry for my taste. That’s where these chewy no-bake almond blueberry granola bars come in. They’re incredibly quick and easy to make, relatively healthy and highly adaptable. And as a bonus, they’re naturally gluten-free and vegan! Just be sure to buy gluten-free oats.

I’ve also included a tutorial on how to make your own almond butter. It’s mindblowingly simple and so much cheaper than what you find at the store.

How to Make Your Own Almond Butter

Roast 2 cups of almonds at 350 degrees F for 10 minutes. You don’t have to roast the almonds, but if you skip this step then it will take a lot longer to process the almonds. It once took me 25 minutes! So I find roasting absolutely worth the extra step.

Your may take longer, but don’t give up and don’t add oil. You do not need additional oil! The almond butter should be very runny when finished. Two cups of almonds yields about 1 1/4 cups of almond butter.

No-Bake Almond Blueberry Granola Bars

In a medium bowl, stir together the following ingredients:

  • 1 1/3 cups rolled oats
  • 2/3 cup almond butter
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 2/3 cup dried blueberries, cranberries or another dried fruit
  • 2/3 cup chopped almonds (or another nut)
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

If you don’t like almond butter, then substitute another natural nut butter. If you don’t like dried blueberries or almonds, pick different dried fruits and nuts. Just don’t go crazy on the add-ins or you might have difficulties getting the granola bars to stay in one piece.

You can press the bars into a pan but I prefer to use a piece of parchment paper to control the thickness. You can also roll the mixture into balls.
