These homemade NoBake Oat Bars / Granola Bars are an easy, healthier alternative to storebought granola bars, customized with my favourite ingredients that are both natural and nutritious.

I much prefer making my own homemade oatmeal bars because I can control exactly what I'm putting into them, without any of the artificial additives that storebought bars often have.

They're deliciously addictive, filling, energizing, and packed with nutrition making them perfect for breakfast or a midday snack whenever you need an energy boost.

They're also perfect for meal prep because of just how incredibly easy they are to make with no baking or equipment required.

Today, I'll show you how to easily make 4 of my favourite goto recipes for these nobake oat bars.
