I love anything no bake, so these no bake granola bars are a charm. My Fiance introduced me to this recipe many years ago (I'm not sure where he originally obtained it from) but he made his adjustments to suit. This recipe is popular among family; which they have now dubbed the 'Yervant Bar' Yervant is his first name in Armenian, but you can call him Eddie.
Granola Bars are known as muesli bars in Australia, this version vs supermarket bought versions is by far a winner. Quite often the supermarket versions contain ingredients which shouldn't be there. I feel confident packing these in anyone's lunch box.
Are these no bake granola bars gluten free?
Yes, this recipe contains no gluten. Be sure to check the ingredients during purchase time to ensure there is no gluten.
How long can I store home made granola bars?
This muesli bar recipe can store for about 2 weeks in the fridge.
