Super easy gluten free No Bake Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Granola Bars! These bars perfect for an easy snack!
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!
