Salted Maple Granola Bars (Protein-Packed, Naturally Sweetened & Family-Approved)

There’s something so nostalgic about a chewy granola bar — sweet, salty, and just crunchy enough to feel like a treat. But most store-bought versions? Loaded with seed oils, refined sugars, and fillers that leave you hungry again an hour later.

These Salted Maple Granola Bars are the cleaner, more nourishing upgrade you’ve been craving. They’re crunchy-chewy, naturally sweetened, gluten-free, and secretly packed with protein thanks to FORALL® Nutrition’s Flavorless Protein Powder — giving each bar 8 grams of clean protein without changing the flavor or texture.

They’re perfect for busy mornings, lunchboxes, post-workout snacks, road trips, or that sweet bite after dinner that still keeps your blood sugar steady.

The Secret to High-Protein Granola Bars

Most homemade granola bars rely heavily on oats, sugars, and fats. Delicious? Yes. Balanced? Not always.

That’s where FORALL® Nutrition’s Flavorless Protein Powder changes everything.

Because it’s truly flavorless — no grit, no chalkiness, no artificial aftertaste — you can mix it right into the batter and instantly upgrade the nutrition profile. The bars stay chewy, lightly sweet, and perfectly salted… with a clean 8g of protein per bar.

It’s the easiest way to make a classic snack more satisfying and nourishing for kids and adults.

Ingredients (Makes 16 Bars)

• 2 cups glyphosate-free rolled oats
• 1 cup plain rice cakes, crushed
• ⅓ cup 100% maple syrup
• ½ cup coconut oil, melted
• ⅓ cup coconut sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 3 scoops FORALL® Nutrition Flavorless Protein Powder
• 2 tsp sea salt
• 1 tsp cinnamon

How to Make Salted Maple Granola Bars

1. Prep the wet base: Preheat the oven to 325°F. In a medium bowl, whisk together melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and salt until emulsified.

2. Add the dry ingredients: Stir in the oats, crushed rice cakes, coconut sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and FORALL® protein powder. Use your hands for the best distribution.

3. Shape the bars: If using silicone bar molds, place molds on a baking sheet and pack the mixture tightly into each well. If using a baking pan:

• Line an 8×8 or 9×9 pan with parchment.
• Press the mixture in firmly using your hands or a spatula.
• You can also press onto a sheet pan for more traditional rectangular bars.

4. Bake: Bake at 325°F for 10–15 minutes, just until lightly golden.

5. Set the bars: Let cool completely (this step is essential). You can pop them in the fridge for 30–45 minutes to speed things up.

6. Slice & store: Remove from molds or cut into bars. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week, or freeze for longer storage.

Tips for Perfect Granola Bars

• Cool completely before slicing — this is what helps them hold shape.
• For extra crunch, toast the oats at 350°F for 8–10 minutes.
• For softer bars, slightly reduce the coconut oil.
• Store in the fridge for structure, or freeze individually wrapped bars for grab-and-go snacks.
