No-Bake Granola Bars (Back to School Recipe) Gemma's Bigger Bolder Baking Ep 139 

This recipe was so easy I let my toddlers make it. We toasted the oats and sliced almonds prior to mixing and added Sliced almonds, oats, toffee, and chocolate chips. We did not add the salt to the caramel mix, but sprinkled the sea salt on top of the granola bars.

The comments sections of Gemma's videos are such a fun place. All sorts of people from all over the world, who make all different kinds of food. It's never a boring place here. Thanks for always bringing together such a wonderful crowd with your creative skill, Gemma! Another great video for back to school.

I didn't quite get to refrigerating them cause I may have eaten the mixture before I got the chance!

Love from Pakistan 🇵🇰 Just popped these into the refrigerator. Toasted oats, chopped almonds and pumpkin seeds, chocolate chips and already drooling!

I love these, my daughter is starting school next week and she never has time to eat all her lunch so these will be perfect so she can hopefully be full longer.

Happy Bold Baking Thursday! I want to see your Granola Bars so share them with the #BoldBakers! Next Thursday ALL NEW MUG MEALS!!!! Possibly the best flavors yet so stay tuned :) Gemma x

Does anyone else think that Gemma should go on the Great British Bake Off?! I think she'd do really well! ☺️💖

OMG!! I made the chocolate granola bars as well as the peanut butter and jam bars and they are AMAZING!!! Thank you soooo much for the wonderful recipe!

Gemma thanks for sharing this recipe. I made one today but I added cinnamon with vanilla, no salt plus pecan nuts and chocolate chips. My niece just love cinnamon and chocolate so I made this for her snacks for school. And yes, even if not refrigerated I just can't seem to stop tasting it. Thank you and for sure I will try on other recipes you have.

This is really healthy ! I really like granola bars..especially chocolate granola bars. I made this recipe with true elements dark chocolate granola and it turned out perfect! Thanks for sharing this recipe!

There are 125 calories in a bar (the nuts ones) if you divide them into 16 squares. You're welcome. And they are yummy.

Since I am a HUGE fan of yours, I have noticed that you really love Double Chocolate!

i love Gemma...her channel makes me feel cozy❤she's like my second mum😌❤❤❤

I tried this today and it was very easy to make and delicious. I put peanut butter into the caramel and added walnuts, peanuts, pecans, cashews, cranberries and chocolate chips...everything that I had in the fridge lol. Your recipe is the best! Thank you

I love how Gemma always gives the substitutes and alternatives of the ingredients while listing them .

Oh wow this looks quite simple and easy to make.

I'm actually in school watching this, lol. Now I want some granola bars, they look amazing😍😋. I love my granola with coconut, yum yum

I love her accent!

Wow this was really awesome and easy! I used some high-grade maple syrup and then added peanut butter, almonds, and walnuts, hemp seeds, shredded coconut, and some other small seeds into the mix. Put it in the freezer and I just had a piece, turned out great! Super nice maple peanut bars, really quick and simple as well. Thanks!

oh man these were like biting into heaven! I used wonderful brand salted roasted almonds for contrast with raisins (allergic to coconut) and they are splendid!

I made peanut 🥜 butter and chocolate 🍫 granola bars and they were amazing 😍😍

Gemma I came here to say thanx for your honest sharing of food videos Love it You're a GEMma lol

Looks like I've found my go-to breakfast! Before this, I always had your microwave mug omelet but now I've found something new to try! Thanks Gemma!

Will never buy granola bars from a store again! These are so delicious and easy to make! Rich in flavor, soft, chewy and healthy. Thank you so much for this recipe!!!

I like the idea of home made granola bars, because that way at least you know what's going into your granola bar, instead of depending on the artificial ingredient-packed granola bars you get packaged at the store. This way, these granola bars are all the more wholesome!

I made the peanut butter one it taste soooo good everybody loved it thanks for the recipe

Can u make more after school healthy snacks. Comment the same thing if u agree

Oh my godness I think now it's my All time favourite snack...u r 😘perfect gemma👌

Thank you Gemma, I tried this recipe yesterday. I added two heaping tbsp of peanut butter and cookies t tastes amazing! Thanks again for sharing your recipe!

hi Gemma! ive been a subscriber for ages i think. the coconut granola is the best! i work and sometimes i dont have the time to eat so this is a great way to replenish energy when in need. i made coconut and the peanut butter. i cant stop munching the coconut granola. i added cranberries instead of raisins. its heaven. im in a tropical country and coconuts are everywhere. im blessed to come across this. i was never a fan of coconut desserts before but this, your facial expression of liking it gave a coconut a chance for me to enjoy it! Thank you, Gemma! God bless! ill keep on watching and liking your videos! hoping for more sumptuous food from your channel!

I love Gemma’s ideas and try everything and try to incorporate things like kefir yogurt

i made this but i didn't have rice crispies so i used popcorn and i made the chocolate granola bar with chocolate sprinkles. they're in the fridge right now I'm so excited lol

I'm so excited to make the PB&J and Chocolate ones!

Hello Gemma. I am so glad that I've found your channel. Your no bake granola bars have became a big hit for my family. I've made fruit, coconut, flax/chai bars. My family just can't get enough. I'm kinda ashamed to say this, but I am bad at cooking. However being on your and other cooks channel, my family likes the food that I'm cooking for them and cuz of that, my confidence is growing in the kitchen. So thank you, Gemma, for these wonderful recipes. I'm crying tears of joy right now. I look forward to your next video.

I had seen this video when it came out a few years ago but never tried to make it. And today, I made the chocolate granola bars and they turned out to be the BEST GRANOLA BARS I HAVE EVER HAD. Thanks to you, Gemma! This recipe is a BOMB! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

They look beautiful. I can almost smell the deliciousness from here.

Gemma! love your videos!! always one of the first Indians to watch it! I'm a baker too and wish we could meet some day!

Omg I'm obsessed with your recipes Gemma ❤️❤️

I thought I'd never be able to put my rolled oats to good use again. I TRIED nuts and raisin granola bar AND IT'S SO DAMN GOOD! Thank you for these recipes, Gemma

I really appreciate it. I've been looking for a snack like this for ages. Easily done, no oven, no cooking. I already have tried this and came out perfect in the first try! I am looking forward to more after school snacks. Keep it up!

Love this recipe. I've made granola bars in the past, but I will try this recipe. It's also a great way to clean out the kitchen cabinets when you have a pile of odds and ends from other baking projects: A quarter bag of walnuts or pecans, a half bag of chocolate chips, a handful of dried blueberries or cranberries... Your cabinets will be clean in no time. ;-)

peanut butter & jelly granola are my favorite granola bars. Some grams of protein.

Thank you for sharing this I defo want to make the p&j ones just need Rice Krispies and peanuts - but can I use golden syrup rather than honey? 😀

Gemma, I just watched this & you inspired me to make these for my grandkids stockings. They would be just perfect, a little bit sweet, but not as sugary as candy. I think they would really !ike them. I'm also going to make some for my husband & I. Whenever we're out it seems inevitable that one of us gets hungry & we buy something that's not really good for us. These would satisfy us until we got home for lunch. Thanks for a great recipe.

thanks gemma.. you are my life saver. im vegetarian and i find it hard to find food when im traveling. but these granola bars save me. thanks again.

yummy~ can you teach us on how to make a rice krispies/corn flakes from scratch? :)

im in heaven,... and my heart beats so that I can hardly speak!!!!

I'm definitely making these!

Back 2 School is trending all over the web...By far this is the best B2S recipe....Just love it...Thanks so much for such lovely inventions...love u Gemma..☺ ☺

yummi! they look so delicious! These Bars cost about 2 or 3€ per bar in Germany so this method is cheaper and more healthy!😙💕👌

My favorite is salted caramel. So I add some sea salt, dulce de leche,chopped homemade caramel chews and swirl in your caramel sauce. Press that into the tray and top with sea salt flakes. Does it sound good? Well ,at least I like it

"Everyday I'm squishing"

Gemma: "welcome to bigger bolder baking" also Gemma: *makes no-bake granola bars*

When I need to make a yummy breakfast, where do I go? Gemma!!! I've been a fan forever. I actually had a food account on Instagram and I did something inspired by me and you actually commented on it!!! Love that your getting successful Gemma. Keep working hard!!

I left school at long time ago but I will be making these for work. I added rice crisps (which I have not had since I was a kid) to my shopping basket after watching your video during my lunch break. Thanks for sharing the variations, I know my friends kids will like the chocolate version😁

these look nutricious and delicious

#BOLDBAKERS..thanks for the recipe..this will solve my problem in eating oats..i got a hard time in eating oats

my favoritos

This recipe is brilliant! I invented my own Autumn variation, using apple chunks, raisins, pumpkin seeds and cinnamon. I've just tried it and it tastes amazing!

I tried making it today and it taste amazing! I personally don't really like oats, but this is seriously good. I changed the recipe a bit because I don't have syrup and rice Crispy. I made the plain(which is the base), double chocolate (which I just put cocoa and chocolate chip), and lastly, Peanut butter, (I use the chunky one). It's seriously so so so good~! Thanks for the recipe! 😄

I love this

can u show some easy back to school dinners that could be easily made on weekdays?

Omg, you are so pretty with this Brown hair. 👍

Omg! I watched so many videos on DIY Granola Bars but but but this video is just so awesome & easy to make!!! Thankyou so much chef , you're great😍🌺👍

Thank you for sharing this recipe Gemma :) I am a cyclist and have been looking for no-bake home-made bars for underway, but there's little out there. Your recipe is great and I am recommending it to friends. Some additional (more scientific) training tips for cyclists who want to use the bars for fuelling their training, rather than as a treat: 1. The substance in this ingredient mix is not quite firm and can stick too much on a hot day due to melting. To make it more firm, experiment with the amount of sugar vs honey vs butter to get best results. For me less honey and more sugar worked but perhaps it had to do with how long I heat the mix so it gets stickier. 2. The nut-based version holds a lot of fat (about 45% of calories come from fat in one portion) and digests slower, so people put on less weight when eating it as a treat. For cycling, it is thus better suited for long leisure rides (when we burn a lot of fat as well), rather than intense rides (where we burn much more carbs in less time). So I recommend for intensive rides to have as little coconut and almonds as possible and possibly reduce the butter as well. Ideally you want to have only 15% of the total weight in fat, because fat gives 9kcal per gramm and carbs only 4kcal per gramm. Add some dates as well to compensate for volume and more sugar content. 3. Make sure to compress the bars as much as possible so they stick better and do not fall apart during the ride. For dessert and treats this is less important, for packing your jersey backpocket for cycling it's crucial. 4. I once used vanillin sugar incidentally and it seems to result in more firm substance.

I'm totally going to make this when I start school

wish there was No butter and sugar in them because than they would be healtier for kids . do you have substites for that?

These are amazing!!! Thanks Gemma!

I made these today and they turned out great! I used slightly crushed crispex cereal instead of rice crispies because that’s what I had. But they are great!!!!

Easy recipe. Thank you for sharing. I learn a lot from you. This is a hard time with covid 19 and we have to stay home but I love to stay home and watch you on your channel. Thanks again.

Hey Gemma!!!loved the recipie but can we skip rice offs because I have everything except thadt😬

2020 anyone?

Since raw oats are not good for your digestion, wouldn't it be better to soak the oats overnight to soften them, squeeze out the excess water and then proceed? Raw oats can cause extreme indigestion because they expand as they soak up the liquid in your stomach. Never eat them raw or unsoaked.

Just started trying to make more healthy recipes. Thank you for this!

These granola bars are freaking delicious. Way better than store bought ones with a little extra effort. I made a double batch for the week.

I can never say "No" to chocolate! I'm about to go on a trip and i think these would be nice to have on the road instead of eating chips and junk. Ugh, I can taste the chocolate one already! :D

hi gemma,is that good for diet?thanks :)

I wanted to ask three things: 1) Can these bars be used as a after-workout meal or something? 2) If I take these to school, will they just crumble in my lunch box? 3) So close to 1 million! Do you have anything planned for it?

I tried your PB and J granola bar recipe and it was so delicious that I can't describe in words thanks for this yummy recipe:):)

Thanks Gemma... Your no bake and microwavable recepies are the best👏👏

your so adorable you remind me of a little hampster 🐹

Gemma with College starting and Ramen Noodles being a staple and popular right now with the whole Kylie Jenner thing maybe you could do a video on different flavours and uses for Ramen Noodles or some college cuisine videos lol

Omg HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO MAKE THIS WITHOUT THE Measurements!!!!!!!!😩😩

I loved the peanut butter and strawberry jelly bars it's just perfect for me

I made these and they worked really well!!I did cranberry,walnut,almonds

Can i use goldem syrup instead of honey

hello what can i use instead of butter??? ☺

75 dislikes. It's just because you are lazy and don't have time making her Granola Bars

A a great way to save money but delicious and easy as well. I love dried cherries and coconut . Thank you ❤

It's like a chewy peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Doubled recipe. Awesome

Thanks 11-12-19

Were the oats cooked first?

Wow i will try it.In India we call it chikki but its made from jaggery.

You have no idea how glad I am to find a granola bar recipe that doesn't use any dates. I've never been a fan of dates, and putting them into granola bars is a huge turn off for me. Thank you for the recipe, Gemma 💕

It's Father's Day 2020! :) Wanted to do some baking for my dad and he likes granola and peanuts so I thought let me make him home- made granola bars! :) Thanks so much for this simple and easy recipe.I packed it up with oats,peanuts,flaxseeds & raisins with some chocolate chips and a chocolate and peanut butter drizzle on top.Don't know how it taste and won't be trying it cause I actually don't like nuts on a whole but my mom tried the batter and she said it was really good lol.Hope my dad enjoys it!!! :) Happy Father's Day to Mr.Stafford and to all the Bigger Bolder Baking fathers tehe.Have a great day all :D
