As much as I lovegranola bars，I can’t always justify buying them at the store. Obviously store-bought is the more convenient choice, but these are so simple that I end up throwing 1-2 batches together at a time. You also have complete control over what you’re putting in them. The ingredient list is pretty small and forgiving; you can make substitutions based on what you have.

Customize Them (Ingredient Substitution Ideas!)

I’ve made the bars countless times and here are the swaps I know work:

• Instead ofalmondsor腰果，use all almonds, all cashews, or use all or a mix of peanuts, pecans, or walnuts. I don’t recommend skipping the nuts.
• 燕麦是一个关键因素，所以我不建议任何替换。但是，您可以使用快速燕麦，如果这就是你拥有。
• 如果你没有ground flax，添加在步骤3见配方注意的另一个1/3杯燕麦。
• Feel free to use anydried fruityou enjoy. If the dried fruit you’re using isn’t small like dried cranberries and raisins, chop into smaller pieces.
• Instead ofhoney，you can use pure maple syrup, agave, or brown rice syrup.
• Feel free to use your favoritepeanut butter，creamy or crunchy, natural or processed, or another nut butter you love like almond butter or cashew butter.
• 椰子油holds these bars together, so I don’t recommend leaving it out. If needed, you can replace with butter because you need a fat that’s solid at room temperature.
• You can use regular sizechocolate chips，but the mini size make these bars easier to cut. Feel free to skip the chocolate chips and replace with sunflower seeds, dried fruit, or chopped nuts.

Overview: How to Make Peanut Butter Trail Mix Bars

1. Pulse some of the ingredients in a food processor. The food processor (or a blender!) is key in this preparation. Pulsing about 10x gently breaks down the nuts and oats, which guarantees the bars will stay intact.
2. Pour the pulsed mixture into a large mixing bowl and add the rest of the dry ingredients. (Except for the chocolate chips– we’ll stir those in last!)
3. 熔体在炉子上或微波炉的花生酱，蜂蜜和椰子油。倒在干燥的成分。
4. Stir in the chocolate chips.
5. Press tightly into a lined 8-inch or 9-inch baking pan.
6. 冷藏。该酒吧走约1小时来设置在冰箱里。
7. 切成正方形或长方形。

所有不同的纹理 - 干果，脆脆的咸坚果，燕麦耐嚼，粘到了，屋顶的你的嘴花生酱和巧克力的点 - 工作这么好起来！

Are These Peanut Butter Trail Mix Bars Healthy?

I say this a lot with the lightened-up recipes I publish, but “healthy” is a relative term. In my eyes, these are perfectly healthy granola bars. They’re made with whole foods like almonds and fiber-filled oats, plus there’s no white flour or refined sugar. However, they may be too sugary for someone who needs to watch their sugar intake and they’re obviously not ideal for anyone allergic to nuts.

When it comes to labeling recipes as healthy, use the best judgement for YOU.
