These homemade granola bars are a wholesome, chewy snack perfect for busy mornings or as a nourishing afternoon pick-me-up. By blending a portion of the dried fruit into a paste, you create a naturally sweet and sticky binder that holds the bars together beautifully without the need for excessive refined sugars. The combination of toasted pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, and sunflower seeds provides a wonderful texture and a boost of healthy fats that will keep you feeling satisfied for longer.

As a versatile vegetarian snack, these bars travel well in lunchboxes and make an excellent alternative to shop-bought cereal bars. You can easily customise the flavour by using your favourite combination of dried cherries, raisins, or cranberries, or by swapping the almond butter for peanut butter for a more savoury note. Once baked and cooled, they keep well for several days, making them an ideal choice for your weekly batch-cook routine.

Ingredients for Granola Bars with Dried Fruit and Seeds

Nonstick vegetable cooking spray
190g dried fruit (cherries, raisins, currants, cranberries, and/or blueberries), divided
160ml de mel
120ml creamy almond, peanut, or sunflower butter
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
3/4 colher de chá de sal kosher
1 colher de chá de essência de baunilha
140g old-fashioned oats, divided
45g raw pumpkin seeds
70g raw sesame seeds
45g raw sunflower seeds
45g unsweetened coconut flakes

How to make Granola Bars with Dried Fruit and Seeds

Preheat oven to 163°C. Lightly coat a 13x9" pan with nonstick spray and line with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on both long sides; spray parchment.

Pulse 180ml fruit and 120ml hot water in a food processor until smooth and incorporated, 3–4 minutes. Add honey, almond butter, cinnamon, salt, and vanilla and pulse until combined, about 15 seconds. Add 45g oats and pulse until well combined, 30–45 seconds. Add pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, coconut, and remaining 90g oats and 45g fruit. Pulse until just combined, about 15 seconds.

Transfer mixture to prepared pan, pressing down until completely even. Bake granola until darkened, firm around the edges, and the centre gives just slightly when pressed, about 35 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack and let cool in pan. Remove granola using parchment overhang, then cut into 20 bars with a serrated knife.

Granola can be made 5 days ahead. Keep tightly wrapped at room temperature.
