Recipe Directions
- 1. Process almonds, dates and water. (You don't need them to be totally processed, just process well enough--similar to how you'd process to make a raw pie crust.) You should see smallish chunks of dates and almonds.
- 2. Transfer almond/date/water mixture into a big mixing bowl.
- 3. Add everything else to the big mixing bowl and just mix with a spoon or even your hands.
- 4. Spread granola bars into two glass dishes. (This is a big recipe, so you'll probably want to put it into two separate dishes or else it'll be really thick in one dish.)
- 5. These raw granola bars can be eaten as is--undehydrated (taste more like brownies then) or you can cut and dehydrate these raw granola bars to make a more traditional crunchy granola bar. Perhaps leave one dish moist and dehydrate the other! Best of both worlds :)
The Rawtarian's Thoughts
By The Rawtarian Raw granola bars are so tasty. I should really make them more often!
Sorry for posting a raw granola bar recipe that calls for so many ingredients, I realize that it goes against my "totally simple" rule... But I just made this recipe up and the flavor is so nice so I wanted to share these raw granola bars with you all!
Plus, it is actually pretty easy once you get past the first food processing bit.
This raw granola bar recipe would actually make a perfect pie crust or raw cake base as well. It's got the standard raw goody texture. :) But the flavor is really unique--in a good way!

I made these today. I substituted gluten-free oatmeal for the buckwheat (tried it - hate it), sesame seeds, and flax seeds (didn't have the seeds); it turned out really good. Oh, and I only had half the amount of cinnamon called for, so I added some giger, nutmeg, cloves, and allspice. I have my snack made for the next few days!

Instead of coconut try this in this recipe:
1/2 cup dried coconut = 1/4 cup raisins + 1/4 cup ground flax or ground wheat germ
Note: You will still need the coconut oil in this recipe

Hi, I made your granola bars today and I must say they are very good. The kids love them, I had to sub some ingredients though, I didnt have any groats so I added oats instead, and 1\4 cup of cranberries, 1/4 cup of raisins to make up for the 1/2 cup you asked for. And peanut butter for the tahini, I also threw in some Hemp as well- YUMM!!!

Hi there! My raw bars always seem to come out a little too soft and fall apart too easily when I put them in the dehydrator. The raw bars you can purchase at the market are much firmer and have a better crunch to them. Do you have any suggestions for me? Thank you in advance!! :)
The Rawtarian
Mar 09, 2012
Yes - they are rather crumbly. More coconut oil and more tahini MIGHT work to make them hold together longer. Also - it is probably because the bars are so chunky - if you want them to stay together better you might want to process more of the ingredients

fantastic...I made these this afternoon and all I have to say is...WOW. These granola bars are by far some of the best tasting granola bars I've had. I skipped on the coconut oil and had to chop the almonds and dates by hand because I don't own a food processor...I tried to blend the mix, but that was a major fail and I don't recommend it to anyone. Overall, yummy recipe:) I'll make these again for sure!

Haha, they are quite a bit of work, aren't they. Sounds like you had a "Make it work" moment and got through it with some nice goodies as a result :)

Wow, these are becoming a staple in our house!
I have used soaked and sprouted sunflower and buckwheat in this recipe and they work great. Also, I didn't have tahini on hand so used some of my kid's natural peanut butter. I found some cranberries sweetened with apple juice and used those instead of raisins for a nice change.
I've found that a double batch fits nicely in a large jelly-roll pan for firming up in the fridge and then we usually eat some straight from the fridge and I cut and dehydrate the rest to store in the cookie jar.
My girls and I like them but my husband and little boys (2&4) are CRAZY about them, so rewarding to see my guys gobble up these raw treats!
Thanks!

So glad your fam loves them. I think your subs sound really yummy - especially the cranberry idea
:)
Thanks for sharing. Glad to have you here, Sarah.

How long do you think something like this could be stored? My husband takes business trips in which he does not have access to fresh food. I send vacuum sealed dehydrated fruit, but something with more substance like this would be great!

Definitely a couple of weeks or so

Hi! I just made this today- it smells delicious! I made a few additions: 1/8 t sea salt, 1 T maple syrup, 1/2 c goji berries (soaked for 15 mins & drained), and 1/4 c soaked & dehydrated salted pumkin seeds I had on hand. My buckwheat groats were previously sprouted and deyhdrated. Thanks for the recipe! Next time I'm sure I will double it!

Sounds like some great substitutions Colette - thank you for sharing

Yum! My non-raw hubby said the only thing he didn't like was that I didn't make more! Better get those almonds and dates saoking ... :)
