Need a handy breakfast on-the-go or a quick pre/post-workout snack? Granola bars are a convenient, yummy option. But store bought ones often contain added refined sugars and other preservatives...so why not make your own instead? It's cheaper, healthier, and you can make a whole batch at once to last you throughout the week!

Quick, easy and fuss-free, this recipe by Grazer Georgina Xuan incorporates our vegan Zesty Maple Nut Mix to result in a granola bar that's tangy, sweet and nutty with a hint of orange flavour! It's vegan, refined-sugar free, oil-free, dairy-free and suitable for a plant based diet. You can even customise it by adding your favourite ingredients - just remember to keep the ratio of wet to dry ingredients the same!

The best part? There's a no-bake option too: refrigerate it for a slightly chewier bar instead. Finish it off by drizzling it with some melted chocolate, a sprinkle of sea salt, or some of our 100% Nut Butters!
