    Baked Granola Bars: A Versatile, Any Day, Dairy-Free Snack

    By Alisa Fleming on January 17, 2018 Dairy-Free Recipes, Dairy-Free Snack Recipes

    Over 10 years ago, I discovered this versatile baked granola bars recipe on AllRecipes.  I’ve since experimented with many dairy-free variations, and decided to update this post. I’ve also added some fresh new photos so you can see how they turn out! The version pictured is actually gluten free, but they look pretty identical to the wheat-based version.

    Baked Granola Bars Recipe (versatile, dairy-free, and optionally gluten-free, nut-free or vegan)

    Special Diet Notes: Baked Granola Bars

    By ingredients, this recipe is dairy-free / non-dairy, optionally gluten-free, optionally nut-free, peanut-free, soy-free, and vegetarian.

    For egg-free and vegan baked granola bars, swap in your favorite egg replacer. We like aquafaba for this recipe, but powdered egg replacer or even 3 tablespoons of additional applesauce might work well.

    These tender baked granola bars are very versatile, and can be enjoyed with different mix-ins for a range of flavors.
    Author: Alisa Fleming
    Serves: 20 bars
    Ingredients
    • 2 cups quick oats (certified gluten free, if needed)
    • 1 cup whole wheat flour or gluten-free flour blend
    • ¾ cup dried cranberries, dried berries, raisins, or dairy-free chocolate chips
    • ½ cup chopped walnuts (omit for nut free)
    • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
    • ½ teaspoon salt
    • ¾ cup packed brown sugar or coconut sugar
    • ½ cup ground flaxseed (can sub wheat germ)
    • ½ cup honey (can sub agave nectar or maple syrup)
    • ¼ cup grapeseed oil or your favorite baking oil
    • ¼ cup unsweetened applesauce
    • 1 egg (see post above for Vegan Option)
    • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
    Instructions
    1. Preheat your oven to 350 F and line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
    2. In a large bowl, stir together the oats, flour, dried fruit, walnuts (if using), cinnamon, and salt.
    3. Put the sugar, flaxseed, honey, oil, applesauce, egg, and vanilla in a mixing bowl. Beat with a hand mixer until relatively smooth. Add the dry mixture and stir to combine.
    4. Scrape the dough into your prepared pan and evenly press it in with damp hands. It will be rather sticky, but water on your hands helps to prevent sticking.
    5. Bake 25 minutes, or until the edges are golden.
    6. Let cool completely in the pan. Remove the bars using the parchment paper and cut into bars.

      How long will these stay fresh for?

        Like all fresh baked goods, I always recommend consuming within a few days – and this can vary by climate. But these freeze very well too, and can be packed along easily.

      Loving these! So much texture and packed with flavor they’re screaming my name. I can’t decide between the PB and the Homemade Kind Bars.

      I am thinking the egg is for binder in this one… I wonder if a whipped aquafaba would work? these sound tasty!
