Cannabis Granola Bars

I’m always looking for snacks that are easy to grab when I’m heading out the door. Between work, errands, and everything else life throws at us, having something homemade waiting in the pantry is a lifesaver.

These cannabis granola bars are chewy, lightly sweet, and loaded with wholesome ingredients like rolled oats, nuts, seeds, and dried fruit. They’re easy to customize with whatever you have in your pantry, making them one of those recipes you’ll find yourself making over and over again!

How to Make Cannabis Granola Bars

Ingredients:

• ¼ tsp salt.
• ⅓ cup honey.
• ½ tsp cinnamon.
• 2½ cups old-fashioned rolled oats.
• ½ cup chopped almonds.
• ¼ cup chopped pecans.
• ¼ cup sunflower seeds.
• ¼ cup pumpkin seeds.
• ½ cup dried cranberries.
• ⅓ cup cannabis-infused coconut oil.
• 1 tsp vanilla extract.
• ¼ cup mini chocolate chips (optional).
• ¼ cup natural peanut butter (or almond butter).

Tools:

• Large mixing bowl.
• Small saucepan.
• Silicone spatula.
• Measuring cups and spoons.
• Baking pan.
• Parchment paper.
• Sharp knife.
• Cooling rack.

Instructions:

1. Prepare the baking pan: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Line a baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides so it’s easier to lift the bars out later.

2. Mix the dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almonds, pecans, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, cinnamon, salt, and dried cranberries.

💡 Pro Tip: If you’re using chocolate chips, wait until the mixture has cooled slightly before adding them so they don’t melt.

3. Make the infused binder: In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the cannabis-infused coconut oil, honey, peanut butter, and vanilla extract. Stir continuously until everything is smooth and fully combined.

4. Combine everything: Pour the warm mixture over the oat mixture and stir until every bit is evenly coated. If you’re adding chocolate chips, let the mixture cool for about 5 minutes before folding them in.

5. Press into the pan: Transfer everything into your prepared baking pan. Using a spatula, press the mixture down firmly into an even layer. This helps the bars stay together after baking.

6. Let’s bake: Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The center may still look a little soft, but it’ll firm up as it cools.

7. Cool completely: Allow the granola bars to cool in the pan for about 30 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack. Once completely cooled, refrigerate them for another 30 minutes for cleaner slices.

8. Slice and enjoy: Using a sharp knife, cut into bars or squares. Wrap each one individually if you’re planning to take them on the go!

Tips For Better Cannabis Granola Bars

• Press Firmly: The more firmly you pack the mixture into the pan, the better your bars will hold together.
  
  
• Customize Them: Feel free to swap in walnuts, pistachios, shredded coconut, chia seeds, flaxseed, raisins, chopped dates, or even white chocolate chips.
  
  
• Storage: Store the bars in an airtight container for up to one week at room temperature, about two weeks in the refrigerator, or freeze them for up to three months.

Once you make these homemade cannabis granola bars, you’ll probably find yourself skipping the boxed versions altogether. They’re chewy, wholesome, incredibly satisfying, and so easy to customize that no two batches ever have to be the same.
