No Bake Breakfast Bars make the perfect on-the-go balanced meal for kids and adults. There are no refined sugars, made with oats and almond butter and are addictively divine! Vegan version available.
Do you stroll through the grocery store aisles and all your kids want to eat are granola bars and cereal bars? And not just one. They could eat just that all day long (me too!). We love to make no bake protein balls and energy bites, so I decided to try my version of the famous “CLIFF” bars that are fabulous for kids. But this version can be made vegan, you control the 8 ingredients and it takes about 5 minutes to whip up (along with sitting in the refrigerator a bit to harden).
Promise you will want to eat the whole pan as soon as they are ready. They taste like cookie dough and I think for our next birthday celebration it would be fun to make this in a pie dish as the dessert! On busy school mornings this is what we grab-to-go for breakfast. No Bake Breakfast Bars are also a great way to add healthy carbs into kids lunchboxes.
- 1 Tablespoons Chia Seeds
- 1½ cups of quick cook oats (gluten free)
- ½ cup Gluten Free Flour
- ⅓ cup of honey or maple syrup (if Vegan)
- ½ cup Almond Butter
- 1 Tablespoon Apple Juice (2 if needed)
- 1 Teaspoon Cinnamon
- 1 Tsp. Vanilla Extract
- ¼ cup milk chocolate chips
- Place all ingredients in a bowl and mix. May need to knead with your hands until oats are fully absorbed with all ingredients. Add 1 Tablespoon of Apple Juice if needed.
- On a baking pan, place parchment paper on it and place your "dough" on the paper. Add another sheet of parchment paper over top. Roll out dough into a square shape until about ¼ inch thick.
- Pull up top sheet of parchment paper and sprinkle chocolate chips on top. Cover with parchment paper and lightly roll so chocolate chips sink into the dough. Place in refrigerator for about 30 minutes or more.
- Remove pan from refrigerator and slice into about 8 servings. Store in parchment paper placed in an airtight container in the refrigerator for about week.

xo,
I totally need to try these for my kids. I love how you can control the sugar because all those granola bars and cereal bars have way too much. Thanks for sharing!
Kathleen, hope you enjoyed!
