No-Bake Almond Granola Bars

I have two growing boys in the house and they are always saying, “Mommy, I’m hungry!” I am a little nervous what they are going to eat when they are teenagers. Yikes. I do hope that they still call me mommy when they are teenagers. Wishful thinking? Probably:)

I like to keep homemade granola bars on hand so I can feed them to my hungry little hippos when they are starrrrrrrving. They are currently loving these No-Bake Almond Granola Bars.

I love making homemade granola bars because they are easy and much better than store bought. I also love this recipe because they are no-bake granola bars, I told you they are easy! They whip up in no time.

The bars are made with almond butter and Blue Diamond Roasted Salted Almonds. I love the kick of salt and crunch the almonds add. They are perfect in the chewy granola bars.

You can keep the granola bars in the fridge for up to one week. They are a great on the go breakfast, lunch box treat, or anytime snack. I love pulling them out of the fridge when our boys are about ready to pass out because they are so hungry:)

And if you want to go all out, you can drizzle a little chocolate over the top and eat them for dessert. These No-Bake Almond Granola Bars are good anytime of the day! Enjoy!
