HEALTHY GRANOLA BAR RECIPE
Ingredients:
2 cups rolled oats (180g)
1 cup almonds (140g)
1/2 cup date paste (150g)
1/4 cup unsweetened peanut butter (65g)
2 oz organic dark chocolate (50g)
Preparation:
The first step is optional, but it adds extra flavor. In a skillet add the rolled oats and previously chopped almonds. Toast for 5-10 minutes gently stirring or shaking the pan. Let cool a bit.
In a large bowl, add the sweet paste made of dates (or other dried fruits), toasted oats and almonds, unsweetened peanut butter (or other nut butter of your choice) and melted dark chocolate.
Using your hands mix all the ingredients together, until it becomes sticky. If you think the mixture is dry add some water.
Line your 8 by 8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
Transfer the mixture to the pan, layer a piece of parchment paper on top and press into the bottom of the pan. Press it well with your hand or some jar.
Place it in the fridge to chill for at least 2 hours, or overnight, to give oats time to soak up the moisture.
Using a sharp knife cut into 10 or 12 bars.
Enjoy!

Is it alright if we don't add any nut butter? I don't eat nut butter
Hi Muneera! Sure, you can go with some seeds instead.
It is ok to use raisin paste instead of dates ?
I made these for my sister last week, she's an ICU pediatrician and doesn't get to eat regular meals when working.. So I'd pack her one or two of these everyday.. she liked them a lot and asked to make regularly, Thanks a lot for the recipe.
OMGGGG LOOK AT YOU!!!! 🥰 Do you remember when you first started I said, “YOU WOULD GO FAR”!!!

Hi there Rexy, thanks so much for all these beautiful words of support, you're so kind as always! Yes, I do remember your words and also I do remember you comments always made me happy, I mean instantly, that's exactly what you did with your comment today, thanks for doing that! Hope you're doing well my friend!
How To Cook Smarter aww!! I am well honey! I truly am so happy for you my sweet friend. Keep making people happy with your food love.. and voice! Hehe 😉 🥰😘
@@CookingWithRexy i love this dude and his recipes.i just checked your channel out and you're awesome too
Made the fruit paste out of raisins, apricots and dates as I had a little of each but not enough of just one type! Turned out great, as always. I'm impressed that even though I can't usually bake to save my life, your recipes always turn out great! They're so foolproof and quick, I made this when I got in from work and will be taking a slice (or 2) with me every day as an energy boost. Thanks again 🤤👍
Hi! Love your feedback, thanks so much! Making a sweet paste out of three different dried fruits, what an amazing idea, will do the same next time. I agree these are great for having at work, I prefer having one when going out in long walk.
I made this recipe for the second time and adapted it a bit more on this occasion. I included a large fresh 'easy-peel' satsuma. I accidentally found that It was far quicker and much easier to scrape off the pith from the peel to get the zest than it was to finely grate the zest while it was still on the fruit. I think this was because it was a satsuma, having much softer peel and pith compared to an orange. I added the zest strips and satsuma segments to the blender, together with the softened dates and it easily made a great smooth paste. I then added chopped dried apricots and desiccated coconut (instead of the chopped nuts), oats, melted milk chocolate (instead of plain) and peanut butter to the food mixer. The recipe came out brilliantly and it was really fresh and fruity tasting. Another great success due to your original inspiration and I appreciate you very much indeed, Sascha.
Hi there Ruth! Wow, you're so creative! Love the way how you play with the ingredients, this is also really inspiring! Definitely would love to have one of your bars!
Dates!💜🙀 so chocolaty! Like that voice~🔥
Thanks Bailey!
🤣🤣🤣😝
Great recipe nice healthy Granola bars
Thanks so much Afton!
I just made this and I’m not surprised that it turned out great! I couldn’t find “plain” date paste so used a chocolate version. Thanks for introducing me to it. 😍 You are my go-to healthy recipe guy. Thank you!
Wow going to make this also this weekend thank you , 😊
Wow. I Just made these today and They are DELISH! So easy to. Thank you so much.
Hi! Thanks for trying it out! I agree, one of the easiest things ever.
Thanks for sharing looks so healthy and yummy.
They charge so much at shops while you can make them at home simple for cheap oats are super cheap dates one box of Persian dates of 500 grams is no more than 2 Euro and little bit of peanut butter which is cheap too, crazy 😜 and so much more fun to make it at home
Hi! Thanks for checking it out! Your comment is so to the point! No more store bought granola bars anymore!
Hi Shasha,
I simply love your recipes and did try couple of them at home..
I just need 1 suggestion from you, since me and my family are vegetarians... Can you let us know what can we use instead of Eggs..
Basically we want replacement of eggs as we don't consume them.
Will be highly greatful to you.
Love from India...
Anand
Hi there Anand! Thanks for your feedback! I'm truly happy my recipes work for you and your family! Talking about egg substitutes, well, for most of my recipes I would suggest using applesauce or flax egg. Do you have something you've been using instead of the eggs so far?
@@HowToCookSmarter
Hi Shasha,
Thanks for your response...
So in terms of substitute for eggs, depending on the delicacy we want to prepare we use following:
1. Sour Curd (Yogurt) this has a lot of good bacteria and enzymes which helps in fermentation and makes the food item soft
2. Activated Dry Yeast... However we try to minimise the usage as using yeast makes us feel bloated
3. We don't use any substitute which is the case most of the times and these results in we sacrificing the fluffy / spongy ness of the delicacy.
Also we are strict vegetarians and hence we don't consume any sort of eggs... The only difference between us and Vegans is that we consume Honey and Milk Products.
@@anandmalkan Hi Anand! Love the idea of using a curd in place of eggs, I also try not to use yeast if it's not really needed. Thanks for your feedback!
Best recipe great job 👍
So simple ,WE have the best dates in the World ,i like 👍👍👍👍👍
Brilliant! Thank you. 😋
Thanks!
I love your healthy recipes.
Can u please give some savoury recipes. It’s pretty easy to find n drool over sweet recipes, but savoury ones are available infrequently. I love nuts and savoury snacks. Would be great to have some shortcut healthy snacks at hand.
Hi! Thanks for your feedback and suggestions! Love the idea of making a healthy savoury snacks, will try to come up with something.
Wow! But it deserves much more than wow!!
Thanks a lot Narmina!
YAY!! great to bring to school
Thanks for checking in! Exactly, these made a perfect snack!
Simple, healthy and delicious. So happy I discovered you 😊, I love every single one of your recipes.
Hi! Happy to have you here, thanks for all of your comments!
love your videos so much thank you!!
Thanks for checking in!
You're right...too much Sugar and " Natural flavours"in bars One buys...thanks for this Easy and delicious recipe!😊
Thanks so much Giulia! Exactly, there's really no reason why should we buy granola bars, these are so easy to make.
I love your recipes. So healthy. How long would you soak the dates in water for please?
This looks really healthy and such a nice snack for my husbands lunches. I will definitely give this a try today. Will also add some coconut that I have. All your recipes are wonderful. Needing to eat healthy it is nice to find you here. Have a great day.
Hi! It's great to know my recipes work for you and your husband, thanks for the feedback! These are pretty easy to customize to what you have on hand. Have a beautiful day too!
Thank you again for another easy to make healthy snack.....
I can't wait to try this!!!!
Thanks so much for checking in! Hope you'll enjoy these!
Do you have a video on how you made the date paste?
This tastes really good but mine fell apart. I've put it in the oven to turn it into crunch granola. Hopefully it works
Yummy!!
I love it!!
Thanks Sara!
Seems a very good snack 😎
Thanks for watching!
I just watched three of your videos in a row. Recommending a similar video at the end is a very affective way of marketing. It works, very smart.
thank you for this recipe :-) if i use honey or date/agave syrup do i still use 1/2 cup as it is more liquid
Hey! Do you think I can use a combination of honey and banana in place of the date paste? (don't have dates haha)
This looks yummy!but you forgot to write the time for baking.!how long does it have to bake for for bars or as a muffin tin?😊
Can I skip peanut butter?I personally dislike peanut😬
I really like the look of the no bake granola bars but how do I get the measurements for the ingredients?
I made your recipe only a few hours after you uploaded it as I am now a big fan of your wonderful cookery channel. You have no idea how hard it is to restrain myself from eating it before leaving it in the fridge for the extra long time that you advised. I know it will taste like heaven as I tried it before it went in the fridge. Many thanks once again for inspiring me so much.
That's amazing Ruth, thanks so much for taking a quick action! You're so right, the hardest part about this recipe is the waiting time. The one is sure, the long these stay in the fridge, the taste is better, just have one (ok, two) for my breakfast this morning. Great little recipe for these hot days here! Enjoy your week!
@@HowToCookSmarter Toasting/dry frying shredded coconut in with the walnuts and oats most definitely brought out their far more intense flavour. I think your brilliant recipe would also work well with dried figs, although they are not so easy to find and would be a lot more expensive here in England.
Thank you so much,I tried the snickers bars and it tastes increadibly good, and please include more dates in your awesome recipes.🖤
Hi! Thanks for your feedback! I agree, dates are such a wonderful ingredient.
Why would someone give this a thumbs down if not for jealousy and bad volition towards another human being.
Thanks for sharing. I will try this. It seems pretty easy to make and packed full of goodness.
Hi! Thanks so much for supporting! Hope you'll enjoy these easy to make bars.
Agreed, but I've done it accidentally!
Found some time to make these today. They are in the fridge now and I can't wait to take them on my long cycle ride tomorrow.
Hi Sabina! Thanks for trying these out! Hope they worked good on your cycling day!
These bars look very tasty! How many calories are in one bar?
Wow they tasted wonderful !! I used walnuts instead of almonds, really tasty thanks x
Hello, This is exactly what i was looking for..Thank you so much.
i have a quetion.
What will be the shelf-life of these super nutritioius,healthy and tasty bars?
He mentioned in the video
Thanks! Just keep these in the fridge, and you don't have to think about it.
This channel is treasure for people with celiac, Thank you very much.
Hi Reem! Thanks so much for your feedback!
I made this using cherries instead of dates and Brazil nuts instead of almonds. Yum!
BAM Love the combo!
You are so creative and have excellent communication skills, with such a soothing sexy voice
My go to breakfast henceforth
Hi there! Thanks so much for your kind words!
This is most healthiest Granola bars
Do you use high heat to toast oats or medium heat? Thanks
Thank you for this new recipe. Soo excited to try it out. I literally just made your No bake chocolate cake, it’s absolutely delicious🤤
Your voice really compliments your videos,especially when your making desserts that have chocolate 🍫 😀somehow your voice makes me think of chocolate
Hi! Thanks so much for your lovely comment! So glad this no bake chocolate cake worked for you!
What can I use to replace the dates? It's hard for me to get them 😔
Here we go again..all natural all yummy with a dash of sweetest voice 😍😍😍
Hi Alekhya! Thanks so much! You're right natural and yummy go really well together!
These look amazing. I'm going to make these to take hiking. Great idea with dried fruit for paste.
Thanks Sheila! You're right, these are perfect for carrying in backpack while hiking!
My significant other is allergic to chocolate. What can I use in place of chocolate for the items that you make?
Hi Greta! You can use raisins in place of chocolate.
How long to soak dates in water?
Can you freeze these bars?
Shum e mir Mmm.
How long do you soak the dates and do you remove the water before putting the dates in the food processor?
Hi Jennie! Soak your dates for 1 hour and do not remove the water, use water just to cover the dates.
@@HowToCookSmarter thank you!
Each time I hit the bell for notifications get a COPPA pop-up telling me I can’t perform that action on videos with children. I’m not watching the videos (right now) I’m just trying to find one of yours that doesn’t have this restriction... but I don’t remember seeing kids in your videos. Have you ticked the wrong box somewhere about your content?
I legit went to the store to find some healthy snacks and the granola bars had so much sugar, one had 16 grams of sugar, my gosh, I ended up just buying some nuts and some fruit
Hi Gabriela! Yes, most of the store bought granola bars are loaded with sugar (multiple types of sugar). It's always better to make some on your own.
Subscribed!! I am a fan of eating and cooking healthy!! Thanks for your easy to follow videos, how to cook smarter. :)
THANK YOU !!!
As always, you deliver something simple and healthy.
Thanks for watching!
Healthy and tasty recipe. Thanks for sharing this! Literally the best granola ever! I love granola and I use true elements dark chocolate granola for my breakfast. Its the best! You should also try them.
So delicious.. 💔 can we make it nut free 😢 I have nut allergy what can I use instead
Hi there! Sure, you could make these bars having no nuts, I would go with some seeds instead (pepitas or sunflower seeds).
@@HowToCookSmarter Thank you so much
Thank you
The dates were soaked in water and I think the water will make the bars go bad at room temperature within a week. Please advice. I love your brownie recipe. I have made it 4times and I love it.
Can we substitute banana instead of dates?
Hi Erandi! Talking about sweetness it would be fine to use bananas, but I think it will result in soft texture, so if not having dates I would suggest using any other dried fruits processed into a paste.
Thank you so much
@@WENFDO you could always cheat a little bit with some banana chips, since the moisture is already cooked out of them and such generally😼
Wow, I NEED to try these!
Thanks for watching Maya!
Hi I'm your new subscriber
Please suggest me the processer /blender(how do we call) to grind the nuts as well as dates paste? Thank you
Hi! Thanks for joining! Having a high power blender is great, but it's not necessary. Any immersion hand blender will do the work too, I use that little fellow all the time.
@@HowToCookSmarter thank you for your reply
I might have done something wrong but I don't know what! Mine turned out not as moist and very crumbly. Help?
Hi Carolina! I guess my peanut butter and dates were thinner than yours, just add some water to the mixture, I think you'll be fine. And chop your almonds very fine.
@@HowToCookSmarter thank you! The second batch was a lot better. Solution: I used quick oats instead of the rolled oats. It was just perfect!
@@carolbottura Hi! Glad you found the solution how to properly enjoy these bars. Good job!
Outstanding! Bravo! Thank you!
Look so tasty! Does anyone know the calories per bar?
Can you give me one sugar free peanut butter brand name? Because I am pre diabetic .
Hi! We're having some called Nutrigold, not sure you'll find it in your country.
How To Cook Smarter thank you.
Broooo your stuff is legit thanks man! From an Obedient Elohim fearing WHITE man🤣🤣🤣
Thanks man, I appreciate it!
Love your recipes! Thank you!
Can you omit the chocolate
Hi! If doing so I would suggest you add more peanut butter or nut butter you use, just to make it sticky enough.
all your recipes are great...thank you..
please do not opt for gloves or other plastic...we can always wash our hands and also,the nerves in the tip of our fingers send the love from our heart into the dishes we make...gloves can't do that..
our health is important, so is Mother Earth...why use plastic? :)
Hi! Yes, I agree with you, we can always wash our hands.
Love this!! Thank you!🙏
Thanks!
I know it and I WILL watch probably most of your vids this night
I like your accent and I feel like listening to cooking advice today
Will try some of them out pretty soon :)
Hi! Thanks for your amazing feedback! Hope you enjoyed the videos! Let me know if you make something.
Hi thanks for the great recipe! I just tried it last night and ate this morning , I was so delish! I love the idea of dates replacement of refine sugar. :) how long I can store in the fridge? (Hope I won’t finish in two days!) 🤣
Hi there! Thanks for checking it out! You could have these in your fridge for weeks, probably these won't last that long:)
Hi! How can I replace nut butter?
Yummy🥰🤩😝😇
Thanks Sonja!
@@HowToCookSmarter
🤩😍😋🤗
Still calorie dense AF.
You'll need just one in between the meals.
Why is your peanut butter so runny.. one we get here is dry n thick which makes all the difference in binding the bars. What can be done to make it runny without adding oil.
Love your channel.
Hi there! It's runny because it' natural peanut butter, no sugar or oil added, anyway you can use any pb you have. Thanks for checking it out!
Thank-you for your videos. Organic vegan from Italy.
Hi Alida! Thanks for your feedback! Sending hugs to Italy!
Seems delicious! How do you make your date paste though? Thanks a lot for your recipes!
Thanks Alex! Well, if you have fresh dates just process them into your blender. Most of the time I use dried dates, so I have to pre-soak these first in some hot water, than also process these with my fodd processor and store in the fridge. That's all.
I made these and the taste was lovely but I had a problem blitzing the dates to make paste and it spoiled the outcome. I have a proper blitzer now, so will try it again.
Hi there! Make sure to pre-soak the dates in some hot water before blending.
Can I use dry dates for the paste? If no, how can I substitute it? I will try your recipe on Sunday!
Hi Cindy! Sure, you can use dry dates too, just pre-soak them in hot water before blending. Use some of the water too, depending how thick you want your paste to be.
They really look delicious but I am not a fan of peanut butter. Can i substitute this by anything else and yet obtain the same texture?
Hi there! Thanks for your feedback! You could go with any other nut butter instead of the peanut butter, or even tahini.
I've been doing bars for a while now but i use cranberries and maple syrup instead of almonds and dates still really good
Hi there! Cranberries and maple syrup sound like a great combo, thanks for sharing!
how many calories would it be for one bar approx? also would it be okay to bake it too??
The fact that you toast/dry fry the oats and nuts first (I also included shredded coconut in the pan), the rest of it doesn't actually need cooking. The wonderful smell of the toasted ingredients was so intense when I just made it. The method advised is tried and tested so it definitely works.
Hi! It's something like 170 calories per bar. There's no need to bake these, anyway if doing so there's no need to bake for long period of time.
Im glad i found your channel! So many new recipes to try 😍😍
Hi! It's great to have you here! Hope my recipes will work for you!
You should set up a subreddit where u would post your recipes and videos there and your audiences would post their results there
Wow, what an amazing idea, I've been seeing these subreddits before, but never thought about creating the one for my audience, thanks so much for suggesting!
You really inspire me with your healthy yummy recipes keep up your great work
Hi Dakia! So happy you find my recipes inspiring, thanks so much!
I have made these a couple of times according the recipe. It's sticky when I transfer it to the baking pan. But after overnight in the fridge, when I take it out, it starts falling apart >__< What do I need to add to make it more sticky?
Hi Susan! I guess your date paste is too thick, I would just add some water to the mixture, to make it even more sticky, that's all.
Yes, it is hard to make it stick and the water will spoil the bars at room temperatuee. we need some solution to this beautiful recipe.
Hi! May I know what I could replace w the date paste? ^^
Hi! You can go with honey too, just reduce the amount of it.
What a amazing idea love this thx very much 😊💚
Thanks for watching Sarah!
Thank you! I love granola bars a lot, but they always have so much sugar!!
Thanks for checking it out! These make a great replacement for store bought bars.
Good as always
Thanks ❤️
