These no-bake chocolate chip granola bars are plant-based, nut-free and gluten-free so anyone can enjoy for a healthy snack! 😍🍫

Ingredients:
• 2 cups soft raisins
• 3 tbsp maple syrup
• 1/2 cup tahini 
• 2 cups rolled or quick oats
• 1 cup raw sunflower seeds
• 1/2 cup dairy-free chocolate chips
• 1 scoop of Vanilla Superfood Protein

Directions:
1. Place the raisins in a food processor and mix until they start to break down into a crumbly, sticky mixture.
2. Add everything else, except the chocolate chips and mix until it forms a thick, sticky dough.
3. Add the chocolate chips and pulse a few times to mix them in.
4. Line a 7-8 inch square baking pan with parchment paper or saran wrap so it sticks out over the edges of the pan.
5. Press the dough into the pan until flat, spending a few minutes to firmly press it down and work it into the corners.
6. Place in the fridge for about an hour to firm.
7. Use the parchment paper to lift the bars out the pan then slice into 10 portions.
