Kitchen Sink No-Bake Granola Bars

Sometimes the best kitchen magic happens when you don’t follow a recipe at all. These Kitchen Sink No‑Bake Granola Bars were born out of one of those glorious “use what you’ve got” moments—the kind where you raid the cupboard, toss together a handful of this and a scoop of that, and somehow end up with something downright irresistible. Think of them as an “everything but the kitchen sink” creation: a chewy, naturally sweet, nutrient‑packed bar built from everyday staples that just happened to play perfectly together.

Granola, pitted dates, raisins, cashew butter, local honey, and a hearty scoop of muesli all take a spin in the food processor before being pressed into a pan and chilled into snack‑time gold. No baking, no fuss, no rules—just wholesome ingredients transformed into bars you can slice, stash, and snack on without hesitation. They’re simple, satisfying, and honestly pretty amazing for something that started as a pantry clean‑out. Ready to make your own happy accident? Let’s dive in.

Kitchen Sink No-Bake Granola Bars

11oz. Oats and Honey Granola
2 cups pitted dates, chopped
1 cup raisins
16 oz. creamy cashew butter, divided
14 oz. raw honey, divided
4 oz. candied pecans
18 oz. muesli

In the bowl of a food processor, pulse together the granola, dates, raisins, and half the cashew butter.

Transfer to a 9” x 13” pan.

Next, combine the remaining cashew butter, honey, pecans, and muesli in the food processor. Pulse until well combined.

Transfer that to the same baking pan as the granola mixture.

Using a spatula, stir both loads of goodness together, combining well and making sure all ingredients are coated with the honey and cashew butter.

Firmly press down to set.

Refrigerate several hours or overnight before slicing and serving, or slicing and wrapping for backup granola bars and optimum nutrition throughout the week!
