Simply Nourishing Homemade Granola Bars

This homemade granola bar is warm, fragrant, and deeply satisfying, with crisp oats and toasted nuts in every bite. Baking the oats with pumpkin seeds, pecans, almonds, hemp seeds, and coconut brings out their natural richness and creates a beautifully golden, crunchy base.

A gently warmed blend of maple syrup and almond butter coats the granola, adding just the right amount of sweetness while helping everything come together. Cinnamon and a touch of salt round out the flavors, keeping it cozy and balanced rather than overly sweet. Dried fruit is folded in for soft, chewy bites, and once the mixture has cooled slightly, chocolate chips are stirred in to create small pockets of indulgence.

The granola is pressed firmly into a baking pan and returned to the oven for a final bake. As it cools, it sets into sturdy yet tender bars that hold together beautifully.

The result is a fragrant, lightly crisp granola bar that feels both comforting and satisfying, perfect for breakfast, snacking, or an easy homemade treat any time of day.
