Chewy No-Bake Granola Bars

Chewy No-Bake Granola Bars

These chewy homemade granola bars are the perfect balance of wholesome and indulgent. Made with hearty oats, creamy peanut butter, and a touch of honey for natural sweetness, they’re a satisfying snack you can feel good about. Peanut butter powder keeps them lighter in calories without sacrificing flavor, while collagen powder adds a boost of protein for long-lasting energy. Finished with dark chocolate chips for just the right amount of sweetness, these bars are great for meal prep, afternoon pick-me-ups, or healthy snacking on the go.
