How To Make No-Bake Almond Cherry Granola Bars in 10 Minutes Flat! 🍒 

Hey there, busy bees! We all see the days where we seem to just let morning slip easily into a distant memory. This doesn't sound very appetizing, huh guys? But hey, what if I told you there was something delicious that is also healthy to make and ready in just TEN MINUTES! Cue these delicious No-Bake Almond Cherry Granola Bars! Chewy, full of flavor and perfect for a quick grab. They are only 5 ingredients in addition!

What you need (Ingredients):

  • 2 cups Rolled oats (the base for our delicious bars)
  • 1/2 cup Almond butter (creamy or crunchy - up to your preference!)
  • 1/2 cup dried cherries (tart and sweet, this adds a punch of flavor!)
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut (for some chew)
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (whatever sweetness moves you:) 

How simple can it be? (Instruction):

  1. Take an 8x8 inch baking dish, line it with parchment paper. Don't forget to leave some overhang on either side - this is our secret weapon for easy removal later on!
  2. Time to get chopping! Bung those oats, dried cherries, and coconut into a food processor. Pulse a few times until well mixed but still somewhat chunky.
  3. Add the almond butter and sweetener of your choice. Clingfilm yet again and pulse to combine thoroughly into a thick, pasty mixture.
  4. Here comes the fun part! Pour the granola mixture into your baking pan and spread it out evenly. Spoon it or pick this one by your bare hands! Step into a slab and flatten it evenly.
  5. Pop it in the freezer! Place a second sheet of parchment paper on top and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes or until firm.
  6. Pull it out, take a look at your ankle! Using the parchment paper overhang, lift the entire thing out of the pan and place it onto a cutting board. Cut it into bars - there you have it! Break them apart, and dig into your tasty homemade granola bars; they are ready to take on the day with you.

Bonus tip: Change these bars up with your favorite mix-ins! But this version could work beautifully with minced nuts, dark chocolate chips, or maybe even dried cranberries.

Therefore, when you're on the go and short of time but in need of a healthy snack that satisfies your appetite too, make these No-Bake Almond Cherry Granola Bars. You won't regret it!

Reimagining Granola Bars: How to Reinvent Your Snacks 

As fans of the traditional almond and cherry flavor profile, it is with customization in mind that we give you these No-Bake Granola Bars.

Get Creative With These Fun Ideas To Customize Your Bar Perfectly:

The Nutty Turing 

Drop the almonds and put in chopped peanuts, cashews, or whatever your favorite nut is to mix it up. Feeling fancy? Your homemade cherry muffins need your own peanut or almond butter too.

Berry Blast!

Not a cherry fan? No problem! If you want a little tartness, trade them for dried cranberries or blueberries (or get the berry mix). How about tropical paradise bar? Dried mango, pineapple, or papaya chunks.

Spice Up Your Life!

Sprinkle the base mixture with a little cinnamon, nutmeg, or ginger for an added delicious depth of flavor. Feeling adventurous? Or, in for a sweet and spicy taste you could add a little bit of cayenne pepper.

Chocolate Craving?

We hear you! Fold in dark chocolate chips, chopped semisweet, or even white chocolate chunks for an over-the-top treat. Pour the melted chocolate over the top of the bars once they've chilled, for an extra layer of chocolaty goodness.

Bonus Tips:

  • Sticky Situation? If your mixture is too dry, add a tablespoon or two of melted coconut oil (or honey) to the mix and give it another blast so everything sticks together.
  • Make it a Party! For a cute presentation, cut bars into assorted shapes with a cookie cutter.
  • Storage Tips: Package them separately in parchment paper and keep them in an airtight container inside the refrigerator for up to 1 week. They also freeze well to make them last longer.
  • Get the Kids Involved! This is a great recipe to make with the kids that is completely healthy and fun at the same time. They can chop the ingredients and press everything into a pan.

There are endless flavors you can make with these variations and tips so you'll never get bored enjoying homemade granola bars any day of the week.
