Ingredients
  

2 cups rolled oats

1 cup mixed nuts (almonds, walnuts, or pecans), chopped

½ cup sunflower seeds

½ cup nut butter (your choice of peanut, almond, or cashew)

½ cup pure maple syrup

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

¼ teaspoon sea salt

½ cup dark chocolate chips (optional for a sweet touch)

¼ cup dried fruits (such as cranberries, raisins, or chopped apricots)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Pan: Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, allowing some overhang on the sides. This will make it easier to lift the granola bites out later. Set the dish aside.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the rolled oats, chopped nuts, sunflower seeds, and sea salt. Stir well until all dry ingredients are evenly combined.

      Blend Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the nut butter, pure maple syrup, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps.

        Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients. Using a spatula or your hands, mix thoroughly until all dry ingredients are fully coated. If desired, gently fold in the dark chocolate chips and chopped dried fruits for added flavor and texture.

          Press and Set: Transfer the mixture to the lined baking dish. Use the back of a spatula or your hands to press the mixture down evenly and firmly into the dish. This step is crucial for ensuring the bites hold together when sliced.

            Chill: Place the dish in the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 30 minutes. This will help the bites firm up nicely.

              Slice into Bites: After the mixture has set, use the overhanging parchment to carefully lift the granola slab out of the dish. Place it on a cutting board and slice it into your desired shapes - squares or rectangles work perfectly!

                Store: Place the no-bake granola bites in an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator for up to one week. For longer storage, you can freeze them. Enjoy these bites as a convenient snack or a nourishing breakfast on-the-go!
