These chewy oat squares with oats, almond butter and seeds, are the perfect alternative to store-brought granola bars. They’re slightly sweet and make for a healthy snack on the go! Vegan and gluten-free.

No more store bought granola bars here — not when I can make healthy oat squares like these at home!

YUUUUMMMM! Isaac and I both taste-tested the squares and agreed that they are delicious. They’re chewy with a good flavor that isn’t overly sweet. Basically a nice healthy treat that’s perfect for days when you need something portable to munch on.
I even went all out and figured out the nutrition information.

Definitely less sugar than most packaged bars other there and a good amount of protein as well.

  1. Looks yummy! I’ll try honey instead of brown rice syrup… and maybe add some chopped walnuts! Thank you for such a healthy recipe!
