Sooo, they require that you exercise some kind of self control if you want to have granola bars that last you longer than 20 minutes.
Or you could always double the recipe. That works, too.
After receiving an email from a blog reader in need of some recipes for one person a couple of weeks ago, I figured this recipe would be a great fit for those of you out there who want to do some baking and make a homemade healthy snack, but don’t want to be left with a dozen pumpkin oatmeal muffins or a huge batch of peanut butter protein bars to devour yourself.
These granola bars are soft and chewy and full of nuts to keep you full. With minimal ingredients, they are not complicated and can be made within 20 minutes from start to finish.

Wow!! Those look amazing!! Must try that recipe soon!! Thanks for sharing!!
These granola bars sound great! I love that they have hazelnuts and cinnamon in them. Yum! 🙂
Mmmm sounds yummy! I love making granola bars because you can mix up the ingredients every time, so they never get boring! I’m eating a homemade chocolate one right now and am kinda sad that it’s almost gone lol! Awesome recipe for a Friday Julie! 🙂
Agreed, awesome recipe for a Friday- definately need to make these this weekend! They look so good…Have a great weekend 🙂
Yum! I need these in my life!
I love the addition of hazelnuts!! I don’t see hazelnuts in granola very often, but I love them!
Julie these look amazing as always! I just made your peanut butter granola and holy cow! I have no self control and am already done eating the batch. It is delicious!
I love that this recipe only makes a few servings rather than a huge batch. I always find I am more likely to snack on more treats the longer they sit around. These look like a healthier sweet treat that would make a great snack too!
These look great, and I’m always a fan of recipes that take little prep work and the ones where I have most ingredients on hand!!
Holy moly, these sound great!! 🙂
Ahhh those look so good, and healthy! I’m always looking for recipes for my own bars. Do you think using a whole cup oats would work instead of the wheat bran? I’m gluten intolerant so I’m not sure what to substitute for that bit…
i think oat flour would work! i would try blending oats in a food processor and use 1/4 cup of the oat flour!
good idea! thank you!
These look so delicious! I can’t wait to try them. As soon as we move into our new apartment and buy more food, this will be the first recipe I’ll be making!
any ideas on a substitution for the wheat bran? i can’t eat gluten so i’d have to replace that with something else.
thanks!
see response to comment #11 🙂
whoops! should have read all the comments first 🙂
thanks!
no, not at all! i answered it after you commented, anyway. 🙂 hope that suggestion helps and that the oat flour works!
What’s the purpose of the egg? Do you think it would work without egg?
the egg holds it all together. i’d be worried it would fall apart without it!
Oooooh yummy! Where do you find these recipes? (Or did you ceate this one yourself?
if i adapt the recipe from an original recipe somewhere, i always link to the original! if i don’t mention an original recipe, it means i just made it up or i changed a recipe so much that it’s nowhere near the same recipe as the original.
Ooooh tasty! I love almond ANYthing 🙂
These look amazing. Can’t wait to be done with my 40 sugar free days!
Wow Yumm! Those photos look great, what kind of camera is that?
These look great Julie! Do you think I could sub hazelnut butter for the hazelnuts, or would that make the consistency weird?
Yum! And so simple! Well done Julie 🙂
Thanks for the recipe! I love smaller batches so I can try them out before cooking up a whole bunch…although sometimes my husband gets a little sad when I make a winner and it’s gone in about 30 seconds 😉
Julie, these look incredible! Every time I try to make granola bars, my wet to dry ratio never seems to come out. Either way too wet or way too dry. I’ll have to give these a try.
oh MAN these look good!
I love hazelnuts but I never thought to add them to granola bars before. Such a good idea! These would be great with some hazelnut coffee on the side.
Yummy! These look great and easy too!
Those look amazing!
These look amazing. I must make these asap!
ahh awesome! i’ve been looking for a healthy granola bar recipe that doesn’t require me adding a load of sugar into the recipe! i can’t wait to make these 🙂
Yum! Are they chewy or crunchy?
PERFECT. I have been looking for something like this!

Great recipe, Julie! I just made them with seeds instead of nuts (did not have any nuts on hand) and added coconut and strawberry. I also used coconut oil instead of canola. They were delicious and gone too fast. My 3 y.o. loved them.
Those look delicious. Can’t wait to try.
Fiestaware!
Almonds AND hazelnuts?? Yum!!
They sound delicious! I am looking for recipes like that so I can make my kid some for school, because so far we’re not really lucky to find good ones you can guy in the store.
These look delicious! I love homemade granola bars. I pinned them! 🙂
My girls are going to love these!
These look yummy! More recipes of desserts with smaller batches please!
Sometimes (OK, often) I hate bing allergic to nuts. Most bars include nuts but luckily not all of them!
That looks so delicious! Will need to try this some time! thanks!!
That looks so delicious!
These look so yummy!! I love how it is a small portion as well, perfect for my room mate and I to share this weekend 🙂 Thanks!!
yup, you just forced me to make pumpkin oatmeal muffins. at 8:30 in the morning. in march. only a little out of season.
Yummy! I was thinking of baking today, and this may have just pushed me over the edge. 🙂
Oh man are these good!! I didn’t have hazelnuts so I used walnuts instead and I added cacao chips. That last addition may not have been a good idea because now I really can’t stop eating them!! Thank you for the great recipes and inspiring me to cook/bake!
I’ve never had much success with homemade granola bars. Can’t wait to make these!
yum, these sound delicious! i’m glad my tastebuds have decided to like hazelnuts 🙂
