Copycat Kashi Granola Bar Recipe is made with healthy ingredients, nut butter, and dried fruit.
This wholesome, no-bake recipe only takes about 5 minutes to make.
Copycat Kashi Granola Bar Recipe
- For the raisins, you can substitute any dried fruit. The mangos, apricots, cranberries, and bananas.
- As well, you can use any nut butter. I prefer almond.
- I have tried this recipe with agave nectar instead of honey. The agave nectar doesn’t bind like honey and they would not stay together. I don’t recommend this substitution.
- If you don’t have chia or flax seeds you can omit them.
For a quick lunchbox snack or breakfast, cut the bars and wrap them tightly in plastic wrap. They will be ready to grab-and-go when you are.
Store in an airtight container or plastic wrap and the bars will stay fresh for about one week.

Hi, I really love Kashi’s new chewy nut butter bars but we live out of the country…. generally try to stuff suitcases on the way back home with foods we can’t buy abroad but they don’t last long enough. If you try copying their new nut butter bars would be sooo excited!
Betsy says
I just made these! Really good! I used some Kashi cereal I had on hand and substituted a big dose of hemp seeds for the chia seeds (lots of protein), but followed the rest of the recipe exactly. A little crumbly after 1/2 hour in the fridge, but I’m thinking they might set up a bit more as they chill longer. Might add some nuts next time, but this recipe is a keeper!
Wen says
Just wondering, is the oats in your recipe uncooked? That means, you don’t cook the oats at all? Is it safe to have? Thanks!
Paula says
oh yes, it’s safe. Uncooked oats are not a problem, oats are a grain. I actually have a lot of recipes that call for oats. I prefer the old fashioned Quaker brand.

I made them, subbing Kashi cereal for the others listed. Added a few other goodies. They were really good, filling. I’ll add a bit more “glue” next time to compensate for goodies. My kids loved them too.
Paula says
Awesome! I enjoyed them too, I like your additions. Thanks for letting me know.

I eat Kashi Pumpkin Spice bars every morning for breakfast, but they keep adding more sugar! Now I can try to make my own, thank you so much 🙂
Kim @ Soliloquy Of Food & Such says
OOOoooo!! Pinning this – can’t wait to try them. Bars are handy to have around, but your right, they can be very costly.
Paula says
Thanks for pinning. I do like these and I’m already thinking of other flavor combos to try.
