Estos Barras de granola con mantequilla de maní are easy, soft protein breakfast bars loaded with 9 grams of protein and refined sugar-free. Plus, these homemade granola bars are also vegan, egg-free, and gluten-free.
If you love peanut butter and you are looking for a healthy on-the-go breakfast bar, then try these peanut butter granola bars. They are a great peanut-butter-lover alternative to my Donas de mantequilla de maní, Barras de Samoa o Avena horneada con mantequilla de cacahuete.
These are baked granola bars packed with a good amount of plant-based proteins from peanut butter and seeds and lightly sweetened with refined sugar-free sweeteners. They are soft, slightly crunchy on the border, but moist, not chewy.

Instrucciones para la impresión en alta definición
- Precalentar el horno a 350°F (180°C).
- Line a 9-inch x 9-inch pan with parchment paper. Spray oil over the paper. Set aside.
- Note that these bars are only sweetened with maple syrup, no added sugar and they can be crumbly. For a chewy texture add 1/4 cup unrefined sugar.
- In a large mixing bowl, add all the dry ingredients: old-fashioned oats, puffed cereal, chopped almonds, chia seeds, and hemp seeds. Stir to combine.
- In a non-stick saucepan, add peanut butter, maple syrup, and coconut sugar if you want a chewy bar.
- Cook over low heat, stirring with a spoon until ingredients are warm and well combined.
- Pour the liquid ingredients onto the dry and add vanilla extract.
- Stir very well until the dry ingredients are well combined and covered with the liquid ingredients.
- Pour the granola batter into the pan and press to evenly spread over the pan in a single layer. Add a piece of parchment paper on top and using the back of a measuring cup, press hard to stick the ingredients together and make the bars firm.
- Bake at 350°F (180°C) for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown on top and sides.
- Cool completely in the pan – about 3 hours before cutting.
- After that time, pull out the bar from the pan using the hanging parts of parchment paper and place it on a chopping board.
Decoración
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate and coconut oil. Drizzle on top of the bars.
- Pop the bars for 8 minutes in the freezer to set before cutting.
Corte y almacenamiento
- Cut the bar into 12 rectangle bars and store them in an airtight container in the fridge for a week. You can freeze them for up to 3 months and thaw them at room temperature.
Nutrición
Ingredientes y sustituciones
The ingredients you need to make them are:
- Mantequilla De Maní Natural – I highly recommend using peanut butter with no added sugar and no added oil or sugar.
- Aceite de Coco – don’t use another type of oil, or the bars won’t firm up as well. To avoid coconut flavor from the oil, pick refined coconut oil.
- Liquid Sweetener Of Choice – maple syrup tastes amazing but for a low-GI bar, try rice syrup. Other options are date syrup, coconut nectar, or agave.
- Extracto de vainilla – por el sabor.
- Copos de avena tradicionales – avoid quick oats or steal-cut oats.
- Puffed Cereal – Choose thin grains like puffed amaranth or puffed quinoa, their texture pack better than puffed rice. Or replace with quick oats -the thinner version of oats.
- Semillas de cáñamo or any seeds like pumpkin seeds, or sunflower seeds. I like hemp heart because it’s a naturally high vegan protein source.
- Chia Semillas or a flaxseed meal.
- Nueces picadas like chopped almonds or walnuts or hazelnuts.

Have you ever tried doing these in a muffin tin?
There’s no reason why it shouldn’t work, but muffin tins are much smaller, so you might have to fill 3 or 4 tins.
