Seeded Cranberry Crunch Granola Bars

March 16, 2015 By Manu 10 Comments

Seeded Cranberry Crunch Granola Bars

It is time again for the “Secret recipe club” reveal!  I am sure you all know what the club is about, but for the few of you who still don’t know about it, here goes a brief explanation.  It is a great concept… each month you are assigned a participating food blogger to make a recipe from and in turn someone else will be assigned your blog.  All you have to do is choose a recipe, make it and blog about it on the specified date.  The only rule is to keep it a secret!  If you are interested in learning more, or want to join the club, please visit the Secret recipe club website.
The blog I got assigned this month is Chelsy’s Mangia.  She has a beautiful blog full of amazing recipes.  Chelsy lives in Texas and has an Italian background… so I was really happy to cook from her blog.  She has a fair amount of healthy recipes, but also some pretty indulgent ones!  She says that balance is key and I absolutely agree with her!  I chose to make her Seeded Cranberry Crunch Bars because I love pepita seeds and because… I had never made granola before!  So, I couldn’t pass on this great opportunity.  It’s a very simple recipe and it tastes delicious!  It is a little sweet for my taste (I don’t have a sweet tooth), so the next time I make it, I will try and reduce the maple syrup a tiny bit.  I love to crumble it in my milk for a healthy, grain-free and nut-free breakfast.  An absolute winning recipe, to make over and over again.  And did I mention it is also vegan and gluten-free??
Thank you so much for sharing such a fantastic recipe Chelsy!  Please, make sure you drop by Chelsy’s Mangia and check out her beautiful site!

    I love granola but have never made my own bars. I definitely think it is time to change that 🙂 These look wonderful and are naturally gluten-free. Yea!

    Where do you get pepita seeds? I definitely can’t find them in a Safeway or Giant grocery store.
    I’m in D.C. (as you can tell from my s/n).

      Sorry, I am in Sydney – Australia, so I am not sure where you can get pepita seeds from in DC. 🙁
