Ingredients

Directions

  1. Add the ground flaxseeds and water to a small bowl. Mix and sit aside.
  2. Line or lightly grease a 9 x 13 inch (18 x 27 cm) baking dish. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C)*.
  3. Add the hazelnuts, oats, cinnamon, and salt to a food processor. Blend into a flour.
  4. Transfer to a large bowl and add the remaining whole oats to the bowl as well.
  5. Add the dates to the now-empty food processor. Blend until a paste is formed.
  6. Then add the almond butter, coconut oil, vanilla extract, and gelled flaxseeds. Blend until well combined.
  7. Transfer the sticky mixture from the food processor into the large bowl with the dry ingredients. Add the cranberries, pumpkin seeds, pecans, and chocolate to the bowl as well. Mix well.
  8. Transfer the mixture to the baking dish, and press down firmly to smooth out the top. If desired, press on any of the optional toppings, like coconut flakes or more nuts or dried fruit.
  9. Bake on the centre rack of the oven until lightly golden, about 14 - 17 minutes. Let cool completely before cutting into bars. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Refined coconut oil is coconut oil that doesn't smell or taste like coconuts. If you prefer a distinct coconut taste, use unrefined coconut oil instead.
  • * We used top and bottom heating (not fan-assisted/convection).
  • The granola bars are rather dense. We found that they're a nice compliment to enjoy with something creamy, like crumbled onto some plant-based yogurt or a smoothie.

Storage

  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
  • Store in the freezer for up to 1 month.

Cassie - Aug. 9, 2024, 2:26 p.m.

These were great! I used 1 tbsp of psyllium husk instead of one of the tbsp of flax seed. I also added some water to the mixture. They turned out perfect and not too crumbly :)

PUL small logo PUL Team - Aug. 11, 2024, 3:41 p.m.

Thanks for the substitution idea, Cassie! So glad that the hazelnut granola breakfast bars are being enjoyed 🙌✨


Lisa - Aug. 6, 2024, 2:57 a.m.

Came out quite crumbly. Need to keep it in the freezer.

PUL small logo PUL Team - Aug. 7, 2024, 11:50 p.m.

Hiya Lisa! Thanks for sharing your experience with the granola breakfast bars. Did you substitute any of the ingredients by any chance? If not, pressing down on the bars firmly before baking is key to help squish them together 🙌 You could also add more nut butter, dates, or syrup to the mixture for added stickiness if it seems overly crumbly. We hope you enjoy our other recipes more 🫶


Paige - Aug. 3, 2024, 9:10 p.m.

This is the first recipe I’ve tried from PUL, but previously, I had fallen in love with your presence in the foodie community. Taking the first bite of this balanced, chewy, and delicious bar has only furthered that. This will truly get me out of bed every morning and leaves me feeling so revived and healthy yet luxurious (the chocolate is a must in my opinion)! I did use walnuts instead of hazelnuts and added a banana after reading reviews where people said it was crumbly. Thank you so much for making this recipe, it has become the highlight of my day! 🌿🙌🏻

PUL small logo PUL Team - Aug. 4, 2024, 4:33 a.m.

Gosh, Paige, you're too kind 🥹 Thank you so much for sharing your love and light! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the recipe and made it your own. Enjoy 🫶✨


Brie - Aug. 2, 2024, 7:12 p.m.

Toddler approved! Thank you!
Made these to help my little guy gain some weight and he's actually eating them. Mine are only a bit crumbly but tastes good. It probably only crumbles because I changed stuff. I used cashews instead of hazelnuts, vanilla almond butter with a touch of peanut butter. For the toppings I did dried apricots, pistachios, chocolate chips and pumpkin seeds. It probably would have been way better with cranberries and regular almond butter. But I thought I had more stuff than I actually did 😅 I will be making them again. I'll update you guys when I do.

PUL small logo PUL Team - Aug. 3, 2024, 3:44 p.m.

Hey there, Brie, thanks for sharing your experience with the granola breakfast bars! Love the modification ideas as well. It's always a big compliment when a recipe is toddler approved 🤩


Yuri - June 29, 2024, 8:45 a.m.

Delicious!


Eva Clark - June 11, 2024, 2:41 p.m.

What can I use instead of a food processor to make the flour and paste?

PUL small logo PUL Team - June 11, 2024, 5:23 p.m.

Hey Eva, if you don't have a food processor, you could use ready-to-use hazelnut (or almond) flour and oat flour. You can soak the dates for a few minutes in warm water before draining and mashing with a fork to make the paste. If the mixture seems a bit dry, add extra almond butter or a splash of plant-milk to help smooth things out. If you're on the PUL App, our "No Bake Peanut Butter Granola Bars" are one alternative that doesn't need a food processor :)


Érica - May 18, 2024, 3:42 p.m.

I used peanuts instead of hazelnuts and bananas instead of dates. The bananas held the shape well. Instead of dried fruits, i used candied fruits and instead of sunflower seeds, i used sesame seeds. As i changed a lot of the recipe, i cannot speak about the original flavor, but my version tasted okay to good and is a very good breakfast - make you fell good.


Kristina - March 18, 2024, 10:40 p.m.

Hi Sadia! I would love to make these for a friend, but she has a sorbitol intolerance. Is there a way to substitute the dates with any other sticky ingredient? Would love to hear your thoughts!

PUL small logo PUL Team - March 20, 2024, 9:45 p.m.

Hi there, Kristina, you can try substituting the dates with other sticky ingredients like maple syrup, nut butter, or mashed bananas. We haven't tested any of them out though so we can't say with certainty. We hope you enjoy the bars if you give the recipe a try 😊


Kayla - March 2, 2024, 2:26 a.m.

Really enjoy the hazelnut base for this, super tasty and a bit different to what I'd normally have. This was my first time baking and did find them quite crumbly - ended up with bars which I put in the freezer but also extra granola which I've added to yogurt. Will look at adjusting the mixture a bit before baking next time to help it stick.

PUL small logo PUL Team - March 2, 2024, 4:34 a.m.

Thanks for sharing your experience with the breakfast bars, Kayla! Pressing firmly on the bars before baking is super handy to help bind them together. Alternatively, you could increase the amount of nut butter, dates, or syrup in the mixture for extra stickiness if it appears too crumbly. Happy experimenting 😊


Anita - Feb. 27, 2024, 7:38 a.m.

I've been making them a lot since the recipe was published. They are amazing 🤤
On the blog there were also instructions for making roasted hazelnuts - would it be possible to add it to the app as well?

PUL small logo PUL Team - Feb. 27, 2024, 11:01 p.m.

Hey Anita, so glad you're enjoying the bars! We removed the steps for roasting hazelnuts to simplify the recipe. Here's a copy of the steps though:
1) Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the hazelnuts onto a rimmed cookie sheet with baking paper underneath, and bake for 8 - 10 minutes, until lightly golden and fragrant, stirring once halfway.
2) Remove the hazelnuts from the oven and allow to cool. Once cooled, pick up handfuls at a time and rub firmly between your palms so the skin falls off. Alternatively, you can rub them in a clean kitchen cloth.

If you'd like to add this to the app, we'd recommend adding it as a personal note under the "directions" tab on the app 🤗


Silvia - Jan. 29, 2024, 7:46 a.m.

Great snack for a bike ride - a bit crumbly, but that didn't bother us. :-)


Jessica - Jan. 26, 2024, 9:52 p.m.

So much better than the average vegan breakfast bar recipe. Full of flavour and keeps you going for a while.

PUL small logo PUL Team - Jan. 29, 2024, 5:53 a.m.

Such a big compliment, Jessica, thank you!


Benson Njuguna - Jan. 21, 2024, 7:37 p.m.

Yummmm!


Norma Reyes - Jan. 21, 2024, 3:06 p.m.

Great!


Georgina - Dec. 27, 2023, 7:35 a.m.

I’ve made these loads, although I use dried cherries instead of cranberries and quite a lot more chocolate... I crumble them over some yogurt and berries. Delicious!


Silvia - Dec. 9, 2023, 4:51 p.m.

They taste really great and are easy to make :-D


Lucile Munster - Dec. 5, 2023, 10:37 a.m.

These were delicious however unfortunately I didn't manage to have them as bars, they crumbled completely so I rebaled them for a bit and had them as granola which was delicious

PUL small logo PUL Team - Dec. 7, 2023, 4:46 a.m.

Hey Lucile, oh no - did you substitute any of the ingredients? If not, pressing down on the bars firmly before baking is key to help squish them together. You could also add more nut butter, dates, or syrup to the mixture for added stickiness if it seems overly crumbly 😊


Csilla - Dec. 4, 2023, 3:09 p.m.

It is very-very delicious! I would have never ever try to put together a paste like this :D
Very worth it! Highly recommend!

Soooo tasty! I share with my friends and they’re in love too ❤️


Claire - Oct. 8, 2023, 4:56 p.m.

Absolutely delicious. They are moist but hold very good. Will re make for sure. I had no hazelnut so I replace by almonds.


Daniela Cardenas Roberts - Aug. 14, 2023, 3:42 a.m.

Very messy to make but quite tasty. Although I think I’ll ONLY make them as hiking energy food because these have totally made me LESS regular, not more. All those date stopped me up 😅🤣


Lobke - Aug. 7, 2023, 7:47 p.m.

These are a-ma-zing! I've made these tons of times over the years 🥰
I break one apart and sprinkle over nice cream or (green) smoothie bowl, eat them as a bar as is, or eat them with some fruits and (pb) yoghurt. Love them!


Hania - July 28, 2023, 10:46 p.m.

Ok made them and they were delicious! However I think they are better uncooked 😊


Angela MF - July 13, 2023, 11:56 p.m.

So yummy! Thanks for sharing.


Daphni - July 7, 2023, 8:37 p.m.

Didn't have pecans and haselnuts, so I just replaced them with walnuts and almonds respectively. Work out great and they take amazing! One more thing added to our list of healthy snacks!

PUL small logo PUL Team - July 8, 2023, 8:20 a.m.

Mmmm sounds lovely, Daphni, thank you!


Laura Schroeder - June 19, 2023, 8:10 p.m.

I love making these bars for trekking in the mountains, they gove the energy push which is needed sometimes :)


Jenny - April 2, 2023, 9:41 p.m.

Very yummy


Hanna - Feb. 26, 2023, 10:27 p.m.

Don't do this for the first time, when you're tired and under time pressure 😄 After I was finished but hadn't tasted yet, I was like "never again" - but wow! - these are so freaking delicious! I'm definitely gonna redo them, but when I'm more relaxed 😊

PUL small logo PUL Team - Feb. 26, 2023, 10:33 p.m.

Awe sorry about the stressful making of them, Hanna! So glad they were still enjoyed 😃


Antea - Feb. 17, 2023, 11:02 p.m.

Hi PUL people! Just wondering may I change the coconut oil with something else? It’s something not that used in Italy so it’s difficult to find/very expensive. Thank you!

PUL small logo PUL Team - Feb. 18, 2023, 5:16 p.m.

Hey Antea, I imagine swapping it out for an equal amount of vegan butter will work. Otherwise, try a combination of nut butter and margarine. I hope this helps!

SARVANI - March 31, 2024, 10:01 p.m.

i had ghee at hand and tried it with that and they came out pretty good.I also used sunflower better and that worked too.


Orlanne - Jan. 24, 2023, 8:56 a.m.

tried this recipe and let me tell you that it was amazing! I swapped pumpkin seeds with sunflower seeds and made a chia egg instead of a flaxegg and it was an absolutely earthy, rich, healthy and nutricious treat. I'll make it again for sure! It reminded me of the flapjacks but more healthy and packed with flavours.

PUL small logo PUL Team - Jan. 26, 2023, 12:28 a.m.

Lovely modifications, Orlanne - we're so thrilled the granola bars were enjoyed 😃

Mayumi - Oct. 6, 2022, 1:09 a.m.

Hi, do you have any tips for making these stick together better? Just made them today and they are quite crumbly.. love the flavours though!

PUL small logo PUL Team - Oct. 6, 2022, 6:41 p.m.

Hey Mayumi, did you use the ingredients and portions listed? If so, pressing down on the bars firmly before baking is key to help squish them together. You could also add more nut butter, dates, or syrup to the mixture for added stickiness 🙂


Alyssa - Aug. 18, 2022, 12:09 p.m.

These definitely did not disappoint! I usually make the frozen yogurt breakfast bars but i decided to switch it up this time and i’m glad i did. I kept the recipe the same but i decided to add a handful of frozen berries to the food processor with the mixture and that turned out great. Highly recommend these!!

PUL small logo PUL Team - Aug. 18, 2022, 1:26 p.m.

Go glad they were enjoyed, Alyssa, and love the idea to add frozen berries!


Lindsay 🇺🇸 - Aug. 11, 2022, 10:52 p.m.

These are sooo good! I don’t eat plant yogurt very often, but when I do, it always makes me want these bars! They are the perfect accompaniment to the creaminess of the yogurt, and have such a satisfying feel when you bite into their denseness. Crumbled into cashew yogurt with some blueberries makes for a lasting breakfast (or snack). I usually skip the chocolate, but I’m sure that would also be yummy.

PUL small logo PUL Team - Aug. 13, 2022, 12:49 a.m.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with the breakfast bars, Lindsay! Cashew yogurt and blueberries sound like a delicious pairing 😍


Brianna - Aug. 1, 2022, 1:11 a.m.

I’ve made these bars countless times and everyone I share them with absolutely loves them! I wrap them individually and store in the fridge for an easy on-the-go breakfast or snack. Thank you for PUL for the amazing recipe :)

I really struggle with low energy levels throughout the day and i got this recipe from the video describing how your food affects your energy. I love how many servings this recipe makes. We've been eating these in the afternoon to curb our afternoon slump. I'm not sure if it's the placebo affect or if they're actually working, but I've been feeling great after I eat one! I will definitely make these again!

PUL small logo PUL Team - June 16, 2022, 6:58 a.m.

Whenever I want to treat myself to a special breakfast I buy hazelnuts and make this recipe. The nutty flavor of the hazelnuts together with all the other ingredients is just a perfect combination.

PUL small logo PUL Team - June 10, 2022, 11:45 p.m.

Oh we're smiling from ear to ear! Thank you, Erica ☺️

Ana Flavia - May 5, 2022, 5:41 p.m.

My husband loves this granola bar. Every time we go on vacation, it's our go to snack to take with us. I did modify the recipe though. Instead of oil, I make it with water.

PUL small logo PUL Team - May 6, 2022, 12:30 a.m.

Michelle - March 4, 2022, 4:33 p.m.

These are so good!! I've made these now 25+ times and I even baked and froze 100 before my baby was born. They really helped me get enough nutrients while I was breastfeeding and caring for my daughter. They're now my go-to for friends with newborns.

These are delicious, satisfying and universally loved.

PUL small logo PUL Team - March 5, 2022, 4:23 p.m.

Anna - Feb. 10, 2022, 12:18 p.m.

I love them!
I swapped the hazelnuts for almonds, the pecans for walnuts, as well as the almond butter for peanut Butter. And I left out the pumpkin seeds.
They turned out soo delicious but maybe a little bit dry. I had them for lunch with yoghurt and frozen raspberries. Such a heavenly combination!
I will definitely experiment some more on them 😉

PUL small logo PUL Team - Feb. 11, 2022, 12:42 a.m.

Love the substitutions, Anna, thank you for sharing! If your nut butter doesn't tend to be as liquidy or the dates are more on the hard side, you could add some water or more coconut oil to help the mixture be wetter 😊


imsen - Jan. 31, 2022, 3:32 p.m.

These granola bars will certainly brighten my day!


Jess - Jan. 22, 2022, 9:04 p.m.

Personally, I would not have these for breakfast due to the coconut oil making them a "less healthy" choice with its high saturated fat content. Is there anything you can sub the coconut oil for?
Thanks so much

PUL small logo PUL Team - Jan. 23, 2022, 8:25 p.m.

Hi Jess, thanks for the question. Coconut oil is solid at room temperature which helps the bars stay firm. You could sub the coconut oil with neutral vegetable oil, such as refined olive oil that doesn't impart the olive oil taste. The bars may end up a bit more crumbly, although equally delicious. In case you're interested and haven't already seen it yet, we also have an article on coconut oil here: pickuplimes.com/article/cocon…. We hope you enjoy the bars if you have them a try 😃


Hawin - Nov. 5, 2021, 10:43 p.m.

I have hazelnuts without a 'shell', could I use those? And would they still need to be baked in the oven?

PUL small logo PUL Team - Nov. 6, 2021, 12:06 a.m.

Hi Hawin, thanks for the questions! Yes indeed use hazelnuts without the outer hard shell. The shell of hazelnuts (and most other nuts) generally should be removed before enjoying ☺️

We would still recommend roasting them as this helps bring out the flavour of the nuts and makes blending them a bit easier. We hope you enjoy the bars if you're able to give the recipe a try!


Kristina - Nov. 1, 2021, 5:50 p.m.

Would it work to form these into balls and baking them like that or would they turn out too dry?
Made them in a pan once before and loved it!

PUL small logo PUL Team - Nov. 4, 2021, 2:28 a.m.

Hi Kristina, thanks for the question! We haven't tested it out, but do imagine the mixture will be too dry and not sticky enough to keep nice balls. Adding more nut or seed butter, syrup, or dates may help if you experiment with it. You may also be interested in our Pistachio & Cranberry Energy Balls recipe if you haven't already seen it pickuplimes.com/recipe/pistac… 😊


Siri - Oct. 25, 2021, 5:06 a.m.

This is so delicious! I subbed raisins for dates as I didn’t have any dates at the moment. And I also didn’t have hazelnuts so I put 1/2 cup of almond flour. And 1/4 cup avocado oil instead of coconut oil. And they turned out fantastic! Seriously, my 2.5 yr old, my husband and I ate one each immediately! So yum. Thanks!

PUL small logo PUL Team - Oct. 26, 2021, 5:12 a.m.

Could I swap the coconut oil for nut butter?

PUL small logo PUL Team - Sept. 18, 2021, 8:57 p.m.

Hey there, Elsa! Since coconut oil is solid at room temperature, it helps the bars stay firm. We haven't tested it out with nut butter in place of the oil, although we imagine the bars may end up more crumbly. Adding extra dates or some syrup may help. Do let us know if you experiment with it 😃


Stephanie - Sept. 15, 2021, 6:15 a.m.

Lea - Sept. 13, 2021, 10:10 a.m.

Sooo hearty, crunchy, filling and incredible flavors! Thank you for the recipe!

I have also found that you can substitute some of the dates for raisins, since dates can be quite expensive- equally delicious. 🤤

PUL small logo PUL Team - Sept. 8, 2021, 1:36 a.m.

Alex - Aug. 22, 2021, 8:05 p.m.

Renee - Aug. 8, 2021, 4:27 p.m.

Hi, may i know what’s the purpose of the coconut oil? Can I leave it out or use vegetable oil instead?

PUL small logo PUL Team - Aug. 8, 2021, 10:57 p.m.

Hi there, Renee! Coconut oil is solid at room temperature and below which helps the bars stay firm. You could sub the coconut oil with a neutral vegetable oil, such as refined olive oil that doesn't impart the olive oil taste. The bars may end up a bit more crumbly, although equally delicious 😃


Nahieli - Aug. 8, 2021, 2:05 p.m.

Sonia - July 22, 2021, 9:07 p.m.

Delicious bars! Very filling and tasty. I like to cut mine out of the oven in 14 bars and then I have breakfast for a week for 2 people, if we don't snack on them, which is hard ;p. I notice my nutbutter is not as liquid and I don't use soft dates but dates from the baking department, so the mixture is a bit dryer, but is works out great anyway!

These are really delicious and worth the time and effort. They are extremely filling, too. Just one recommendation - don't forget the prepared flax eggs! I ALWAYS forget them initially and wonder why on earth the mixture is so difficult to work with, then look over and see my little dish of the flax eggs waiting for me. If you're short on time and don't really feel like you're going to miss the hazelnut flavor, I also recommend just subbing in approximately 2 cups of almond flour for the 1 cup of whole hazelnuts (that you process into a flour). Add in chopped roasted hazelnuts with the chopped pecans to get the hazelnut flavor back.

We're so glad you enjoyed the bars, Kelly! It can be so easy to forget about the flaxseed mixture! Especially when it's off to the side 🙂

Hello! I just made these bars and they are very nice super-rich and healthy snacks. Thank you so much for the recipe. One thing is only that 12 bars seem a bit too much for me. If I freeze them, what do I do after? Should I just leave them to melt at room temperature?

Hi Vera, we've found the breakfast bars thaw best when they're let to sit for an hour or two at room temperature. Feel free to warm them up for a faster thaw if desired though 🙂

I made these bars for a backpacking trip to have for my breakfast and they were perfect! I love that they aren't too sweet and make for a hearty morning meal (I had 2-3) before we started hiking. I've also enjoyed taking these to work as they make for a more substantial granola bar.

A lovely idea to bring them on a hiking trip, Lucie! So glad you're enjoying the bars 💖

These were quite good, although I preferred the orange zest recipe! I think the best part about these kind of bars is that they keep in the fridge for months and so you make them once and have a snack whenever you want!

We enjoy the orange zest ones too! It's always handy to have some bars ready for on the go or as an easy snack. Thank you for the review, Cris 🤩

Make these! I had to swap out the dates for prunes, abs use peanut butter instead of almond butter, and almonds instead of hazelnuts. And no pecans. It was great! Prepackaged granola has too much sugar and the store brands are worse.

I plan to make two new batches, one with cashew butter, and no almonds. For a friend because of allergies and one I’m gonna bake thinner. Trying to get my toddler to eat them. She is always eating my granola bars, abs I want her to consume this one. I think she was put off by the thickness. I’ll let you know how that turns out.

I’ve written down the versions of these to my recipe book. So happy to have it in there!

Such wonderful substitutions, Peta! Do let us know how the next batches go 🤗 Your little one is so lucky to have a brilliant chef 😀

I made these 2 times and they are so delicious! They are such a great snack, and they taste so wholesome :)

So happy you enjoyed the granola bars, Olivia!

Made these today: they turned out great! Wish it was tomorrow morning already.
Broke my blender in the process but it was time to replace it anyway. :')

PUL small logo PUL Team - May 12, 2021, 5:39 a.m.

Oooh no! So sorry to hear, Janne, RIP to your blender 😞 We definitely recommend a food processor when blending more course ingredients. Love your positive attitude though and we hope you enjoy the recipe tomorrow ✨🤗


TANIA - May 10, 2021, 7:44 p.m.

Hi
I love your recipe looks delicious. But I dont have coconut oil. What other substitutes can I use ? Regular oil? Margarine melted?
Thanks, Tania

PUL small logo PUL Team - May 11, 2021, 5:23 a.m.

Hey Tania! Thanks for the kind words and question. You could sub the coconut oil with a neutral vegetable oil, such as refined olive oil that doesn't impart the olive oil taste. Melted margarine is another good idea! We hope you enjoy the breakfast bars 😃

i love. love . love all these meals. I have tried on several occasions to purchase your cook book but every time i hit buy it keeps going on a terminal thinking mode and never gets to the next page. Maybe it's because I am in Tacoma Washington. :( Help please

I absolutely loved these bars! Easy to bake and (too) indulgent for eating😅
The combination of nuts and almonds in various textures with dark chocolate is brilliant!!!
It’s dense without being heavy, which makes it a sufficient afternoon snack in its own right. In accordance with its name, I’ve really discovered how well the bars work as crumbled granola. My favourite combo so far is canned peaches, coconut yoghurt, and one crumbled hazelnut bar😋
Thumbs up that they are freezer compatible

This means so much, Louise, thank YOU for the glowing review! Mmm serving the bars with peaches and yogurt sounds delicious 😍
