Equipment

Ingredients

Granola Layer

  • 2 small (130 g) ripe bananas
  • 2 cups (200 g) homemade or store-bought granola
  • 1 1/2 cups (150 g) oats gluten-free if needed
  • 1/4 cup (60 g) sunflower or hazelnut oil
  • 1/2 heaping cup (80 g) of raisins
  • 1/2 cup (40 g) grated unsweetened coconut
  • 2 tablespoons (22 g) chia seeds

Chocolate Layer:

  • 2 medium (190 g) ripe bananas
  • 1 1/3 cups (200 g) soft dates
  • 1/4 cup (60 g) sunflower or hazelnut oil
  • 1/2 cup (45 g) cocoa powder
  • pinch of salt
  • 1-2 teaspoons of vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. You can watch the video in the post for visual instructions.
  2. I recommend measuring the ingredients in grams on a kitchen scale.
  3. Process all the ingredients for the granola layer in a food processor.
  4. Line a 6×9-inch or 7×7-inch pan with parchment paper and press the dough into the tray. Use your hands or a jar to compact the granola layer. Set it aside and preheat the oven to 360 degrees Fahrenheit (about 180 degrees C).
  5. For the chocolate layer, process all the ingredients in the food processor until the mixture is creamy. It may take a few minutes, depending on your food processor. Be sure to scrape the edges of the food processor several times.
  6. Taste it! If you want it sweeter, feel free to add your favorite sweetener. Pour the chocolate cream onto the granola layer and smooth it evenly with a spatula.
  7. Bake in the oven for about 25-30 minutes (25 minutes if using a larger skillet and 30 minutes for a smaller skillet). Garnish with more granola, then let cool completely.
  8. Finally, cut into sticks. If you wish, you can also drizzle your favorite peanut butter on it. Enjoy!

notes

  • Use your favorite nut butter (e.g. peanut butter, almond butter, cashew butter, etc.).
  • You can also use applesauce instead of bananas, but bananas work best.
  • Dates should be soft and juicy. If they are too dry, soak them in hot water until soft. Then discard the water.
  • Store leftover leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • You can also freeze the bars for up to 2 months. Allow it to thaw completely before serving.
  • The recipe is for 12 people. Nutritional values ​​are for one serving.
