I LOVE these trail mix bars, y’all. They are probably my favorite recipe that I’ve made so far. Not only are they delicious, but they are jam-packed with healthy nuts, seeds, fiber, and protein. There’s really nothing NOT to love about these. If you have 30 minutes over the weekend, then you can have a whole week of homemade healthy and delicious snacks or breakfasts!

No-Bake Trail Mix Bar Substitution Ideas

These no-bake trail mix bars are very forgiving, so it’s easy to play around with the ingredients if you want to get creative and try different flavor combinations (which I always encourage!).

For this recipe, I used a few of my favorite flavor combos:

pumpkin seeds + chia seeds

dried cranberries + dark chocolate


puffed rice cereal + honey


oats + peanut butter


Here’s some ideas to help you mix things up:

+ swap out the pumpkin seeds for almonds, walnuts, or cashews

+use all chia seeds or all flax seeds instead of half and half, or swap them out for hemp seeds

+swap the honey for maple syrup to make this recipe vegan or for a different flavor profile

+exchange the peanut butter for almond butter or cashew butter

+instead of dried cranberries, try another dried fruit such as blueberries, raisins, or dates

The possibilities are truly endless, so get creative!

Prep Time20 mins

Course: Breakfast, Snack
Cuisine: American
Keyword: Chia Seed, Easy, Flax Seed, Healthy, Honey, Oats, Peanut Butter
Servings: 8 bars

Equipment

  • 8×8 baking dish
  • parchment paper (wax paper or foil works, too)
  • Saucepan
  • medium bowl
  • Spoon or spatula
  • Measuring cups & spoons

Ingredients

  • 1/3 c honey I prefer raw local honey; you can use maple syrup to make this vegan!
  • 1/3 c peanut butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1¼ c old-fashioned oats gluten-free, if preferred
  • 1/3 c puffed brown rice cereal
  • 1/2 c dark chocolate chips dairy-free, if preferred
  • 1/4 c dried cranberries, no sugar added
  • 1/4 c raw pumpkin seeds
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1 tbsp flax seeds, ground or whole
  • ¼ tsp salt

Instructions

  • Microwave: In a microwave safe bowl, combine the peanut butter and honey. Microwave for 15-20 seconds at a time until melted. Stir gently until just combined. Add vanilla, stir and set aside.
    Stovetop: In a saucepan, combine peanut butter and honey on med-low heat, stirring constantly until just combined. Add vanilla, stir and set aside.
  • Combine the remaining ingredients in a medium mixing bowl.
  • Add peanut butter-honey mixture to the dry ingredients and mix well. The mixture will be sticky but should be easy to handle.
  • Line an 8×8 baking dish with parchment paper. Pour the contents of the bowl into the dish and flatten with your fingers or the back of a spoon. Sometimes it helps to wet your hands just slightly first to prevent the ingredients from sticking to your hands too much!
  • Place the bars into the freezer to set for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  • Cut the bars into 8 rectangles. They will start to become softer the warmer they get, so the best way to eat them is to take them out of the fridge or freezer and let them sit for about five minutes before digging in!
  • Store in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 3 weeks, or in the freezer for up to 3 months!
