These no-bake granola bars take less than 5 minutes to put together and require only a few ingredients, many of which you probably already have on hand. The combination of apricots and almonds paired with salty almond butter is fantastic. I like to keep them individually wrapped and stored in my freezer for a quick grab-and-go snack or pre-workout fuel.

I’ve been wanting to try the Plain Jane granola since you first mentioned it in SWYNTS. I tried making my own peanut butter granola but I’m sure it doesn’t measure up to the Nuts About Granola brand.
Congratulations Lauren!!! These bars look so delish and perfect to grab and go for a quick and tasty snack. I just love dried apricots & granola!
