It may seem hard to incorporate healthy, sustainable foods into your busy schedule. Quite frankly, it is a struggle for me right now. However, prepping healthy on-the-go snacks is a great way to set yourself up for sucess. Make these Chocolate Chunk Almond Sea Salt Granola Bars and you’ll definitely thank me later.
Chewy, slightly crunchy, embedded with gooey chunks of chocolate chips. Simple ingredients, affordable, easy, and 100% plant-based.
This recipe is in collaboration with Compassion in World Farming. I am so happy to be partening with them again with the goal of creating a sustainble, compassionate food system.
Eating more plants ourselves is a great way to help farmed animals and the planet of course, but helping others do the same can really multiply our impact! And anyone can become a more effective advocate if given the right set of tools.

Chewy, slightly crunchy, embedded with gooey chunks of chocolate chips. Simple ingredients, affordable, easy, and 100% plant-based.
- 1 cup dates, pitted
- 1/2 cup agave
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp molasses
- 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
- 1 1/2 cups rice puff cereal
- 3/4 cup finely chopped almonds
- 2 tbsp ground flax seed meal
- 1 tsp flaky sea salt
- 1/3 cup chocolate chips
-
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees.
-
Soak dates for 15 min. in boiling water to soften. Transfer to a food processor and process with agave, vanilla, and molasses until smooth.
-
In a large mixing bowl, using a wooden spoon or sturdy spatula, combine the date paste with the rest of the ingredients until a thick and slightly sticky "dough" forms.
-
Form mixture into a 8x4-inch log on piece of parchment paper. You may need to slightly wet your hands for this step, so the batter doesn't stick. Cut into 8 equal rectangles and arrange on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 20 min. Allow to cool for 15 min. before eating.
