High-Fiber Cranberry Oat Energy Granola Bars

Yield: 12 to 14 bars
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 5 minutes

This High-Fiber Cranberry Oat Energy Bars recipe is so filling with loads of cranberries, oats, chia and flax seeds, peanut butter and honey.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups oats
  • 1 cup rice crispies cereal
  • 1/2 cup ground flax seeds
  • 3 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1 cup dried cranberries
  • 1 cup peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup honey

Instructions

  1. Combine oats, rice cereal, ground flax seeds, chia seeds and dried cranberries.  Add peanut butter and honey. Mix until fully incorporated. 
  2. Pour and press into 8x8 inch pan lined with parchment paper. (see note)
  3. To get a clean cut, chill for 4 hours in fridge or 1-2 hours in freezer.  Cut into desired size (12-14 pieces).  Store in fridge to help maintain shape (not required).

Notes

When pressing energy bars into pan use a piece of parchment paper or plastic wrap on the top to avoid hands getting sticky.  Press as firm as you can.  The more packed the bars are the better they will hold their shape.

    Hi Cak! I’m so sorry to hear this. I use quick rolled oats (not 1-minute oats but regular quick oats). For the peanut butter I use Jiffy or Skippy creamy peanut butter. Natural PB may give this bar a much softer consistancy do to the oil more likely to separate. Also, I put a LOT of pressure on the bars before chilling them. This really helps the ingredients hold together. I notice the bars don’t stay together as well when I don’t pack it as firm. I hope this helps. Thanks for stopping by and dropping a comment.

    I was so excited to make these as I had all ingredients in my pantry. However, they didn’t stay together at all and now I have a pan full of granola. So my question is, what kind of oatmeal, and what kind of peanut butter? I used old fashioned and natural PB. Thanks!
