Crunchy and delicious home-baked Thermomix Granola Bars made with oats, sunflower seeds, chia seeds, desiccated coconut, honey and cinnamon. Once you've tasted these, there's no returning to supermarket ones!
These granola bars are super easy to make in the Thermomix. They are perfect for lunchboxes, after-school snacks or anytime you feel like a sweet treat.
For this recipe, I've used honey to bind all the ingredients together, but you could also use rice malt syrup. I don't recommend using Maple syrup as it doesn't have the same consistency, and the granola bars would fall apart.

Liliana says
Hi, i Tried this recipe before and ABLSOUTLY LOVED IT, but i was wondering is there a conventional method?
Vicki says
Hi Liliana, I've only ever made this recipe in the Thermomix therefore don't have a conventional method - sorry. Vicki.
Maria says
Hi! Is it possible to replace the coconut oil for olive or canola? Thanks
Vicki says
Hi Maria, sorry I haven't tried the recipe with olive or canola oil so can't say for certain if it would work or not. Best regards, Vicki.
Vicki says
I haven't tried but I think they would taste great covered in chocolate! Vicki.
Bec says
Have you tried to substitute honey for rice malt syrup, maple or golden syrup?
Vicki says
Hi Bec, rice malt syrup works really well in this recipe. I don't recommend using maple syrup as it doesn't have the same consistency and the granola bars would fall apart. I'm afraid I haven't tried using this recipe with golden syrup. Kind regards, Vicki.
Alexandra Antunes says
Wow I will try to do it. Can i replace the rice syrup with honey ?
Vicki says
Yes that should work fine!
