FOR CHOCOLATE MIXTURE

Instructions
 

FOR NUTS & SEEDS MIXTURE

  • Roast all the nuts and seeds in the oven at 350F or 180C for a few minutes or until crispy. Turn them midway so that they brown evenly. If the nuts are not browned enough, the granola bars would not be as crispy.
  • Cool the nuts and seeds for awhile then chop the nuts into smaller pieces so that it's easier to compress them together. You can use a knife and cutting board or food processor to chop the nuts.
  • You can also opt for any nuts or seeds of your choice.
  • Mix all the ingredients in a big bowl until well combined and set aside.

FOR CHOCOLATE MIXTURE

  • In the video, I used a double boil (Bain-marie) method to melt the ingredients. You can also use microwave oven.
  • Over low heat, add the coconut oil in the bowl and stir until dissolved.
  • Add the Allulose and stir until dissolved.
  • Add the salt and stir until dissolved.
  • Add the unsweetened cocoa powder and stir until smooth and creamy.
  • Remove the bowl from heat and add the vanilla extract. Whisk to combine
  • Pour the chocolate mixture over the roasted nuts and seeds.
  • Mix until well coated.
  • Use any suitable rectangular or square pans. In the video, I used 3 shallow pans with a size of 7x3.5x3". Line the pan with parchment paper.
  • Scoop the granolas into the pans. If you are using a few pans, it helps to weigh them after filling to ensure that they are of the same size.
  • Spread the top evenly. Then use a suitable cup with flat bottom or the back of a spoon to compress them as much as you can. Otherwise, there is a tendency that they will fall apart.
  • Chill in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 hours until set and firm. This is important as they can be crumbly if they are not set and firm enough.
  • Remove from the pan and transfer onto a cutting board. Start from the middle and work sideways. It is easier to cut firmly straight down to avoid any breakage.
  • Wrap the granola bars with chocolate wrappers to prevent moisture from forming. This is also useful as on-the-go and mess free eating.
  • The longer the granola bars are chilled, the firmer and crispier they become.
  • These granola bars can be refrigerated for up to 1 or 2 weeks and frozen for months. They actually taste great straight out of the fridge or freezer.
