Best Paleo Muesli & Granola Bars

Crunchy, chewy or whichever way you like them, this selection of paleo granola bars or muesli bars (in OZ speak) will give you lots of ideas and inspiration. I am covering various dietary needs, with and without nuts, low-fructose, protein-rich, and keto.


Best Paleo Granola Bars (or Muesli Bars)

Everyone loves a good granola bar. You might also call them muesli bars or lara bars. They’re nutrient-dense, easy to make and can be used as a quick breakfast on the run or as a high-energy snack. Plus, granola bars are super lunchbox friendly.

 

In today’s roundup, I’ve put together a list of my favourite, paleo granola bars including nut-free, keto and low-fructose options. Actually, you can make most of these recipes nut-free by replacing nuts with seeds and, as usual, I recommend using activated nuts to reduce the amount of phytic acid and make them easier to digest.

1.Paleo Protein Muesli Bars

These are protein-rich muesli bars I often make for pre- and post-workout fuel.  They’re pretty dense and filling and I often took them to the gym and on hiking or climbing trip. Recipe from my blog here.

2. A CHEWY WINTERTIME PALEO GRANOLA BAR

This gingerbread inspired paleo granola bar recipe is from Barefoot Girl. Running half the nuts, seeds, and fruits in this recipe through a food processor yields a chewy texture in the finished product. And leaving the other half simply chopped up keeps the necessary crunch you look for in a granola bar.
