A brand new year! How do you feel about new beginnings? I have always been partial to them. I love a fresh, clean planner full of possibilities. In school I loved the beginning of the year with brand new notebooks, empty folders, it just felt like anything could happen. New is nice, it is exciting!

I don’t generally make New Years resolutions but I know many people do. Probably the most common resolution is to eat a bit healthier. These No Bake Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Granola Bars are a great way to eat a bit healthier without giving up your sweet tooth! These simple granola bars are packed with gluten free oats, pecans, peanut butter, honey and of course a healthy dose of chocolate chips!

I usually make a double batch on Sundays to have as a quick snack when your sweet tooth is calling or something easy to pack in lunches.  This is also very easy to adapt to your own preferences. For example, adding in white chocolate chips, pecans, walnuts, sunflower seeds, coconuts, raisins, or anything else in your cabinet would work!

    Haha, my resolution is always to eat healthier! This year I really need it though -- man I went overboard with the holiday baking last year! That's the problem with being a blogger I guess. A batch of these would be perfect for post work out snacks. Happy New Year Annie!

    Did you say no-bake? Perfect! When I've made baked granola bars in the past, I always like the dough better than the finished product. Other benefit.....you don't have to wait to eat them.

    I used to make a similar recipe to this back in college because it was one of the only things I could make in the microwave, haha! These are so good - I must try your version to keep around as a healthy snack!

    I am all for healthier snacks this time of year! Never mind the fact that we had to stay late at work and order take-out yesterday and today. :( I need to make up a big batch of these and keep them on hand - they look amazing!

    Yum, these look fantastic and oh so simple, too! Love the idea of making a double batch on the weekend, too! You really never can make enough food for the week ahead. Come mid-week I know I'm always extremely glad I put in the time on the weekends, because I just don't have the energy once the week is in full swing. Thanks for the recipe :)
