Breakfast & Brunch

Vegan Granola Bars

Oats bring a pleasant chewiness and an old-fashioned goodness to these vegan, nutrient-dense bars. Pureed dates lend just enough sweetness to this convenient breakfast or snack. Nuts, ground flax, and dried fruits add antioxidants, vitamins, good fats, and flavor.

Ingredients :

    1 cup (9 ounces) pitted dates
    Vegetable-oil cooking spray
    1 ½ cups old-fashioned oats, finely ground, or 1 cup quinoa flakes
    4 ½ ounces (1 cup) pecans, toasted, ½ finely ground and ½ coarsely chopped
    2 ounces (½ cup) unsalted macadamia nuts, toasted, ½ finely ground and ½ coarsely chopped
    2 ¼ ounces (⅓ cup) dried papaya, cut into ½-inch pieces
    1 ¾ ounces (⅓ cup) dried cherries, chopped
    2 ounces (⅓ cup) dried blueberries
    2 tablespoons oat bran
    3 tablespoons ground flaxseed
    2 tablespoons wheat germ
    ½ teaspoon coarse salt
    ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
    3 tablespoons brown-rice syrup or honey

Direction :

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place dates in a small saucepan, cover with cold water, and bring to a simmer. Drain. Puree in a food processor until smooth.
    Coat an 8-inch square baking pan with cooking spray. Mix oats or quinoa flakes, nuts, papaya, cherries, blueberries, bran, flaxseed, wheat germ, salt, and cinnamon in a large bowl. Mix in date puree and brown-rice syrup or honey. Press mixture into pan.
    Bake until center is firm and edges are golden, about 25 minutes. Let cool in pan on a wire rack. Cut into 8 bars.
