Falafel crunchy chickpea granola bars are as unique and tasty as they are easy to make!
Jump to Recipe
Crunchy chickpeas are my moms all. time. favorite. snack! Whenever my mom has an upset stomach she swears salty roasted crunchy chickpeas will “adjust” her stomach and make her feel better. She lives off of them. And only until recently, she would ask anyone coming from the middle east to bring some back with her because they were just different from over there she would say. Until of course, Saffron Roads came out with their crunchy chickpea lines. They’re so perfect and so flavorful. I actually always have a bag in my car, because I live in Southern California, and because there is always traffic, and because I “healthy snack” in my car all the time.
You all know what a huge fan I am of Saffron Roads, there has not been a single product that I wasn’t absolutely in love with. Beyond my love for their products, I fell in love with the company when was first starting mine. I was fortunate enough to meet the founders of Saffron Roads and have been lucky enough to call them mentors. Knowing them personally and seeing firsthand the great lengths that they go to to in order to ensure their products are made with only the highest quality ingredients makes me the huge fan that I am. It’s just getting so much more difficult these days to consume quality products and feed my daughter whole food ingredients but thankfully there are more and more companies that are passionate about this cause, and this is one of those companies.
I played around with the falafel flavored crunchy chickpea recipe and I thought it would be fun to make a falafel inspired granola bar. The crunchy chickpeas give it that nice crunch and the falafel seasoning is already there, the dates and tahini make it chewy and yummy and the oats make it extra healthy. They were so perfect! Ate a few with a hot cup of coffee, yummy!
- 1 cup Saffron Roads crunchy falafel chickpeas
- 1/3 cup tahini
- 10 dates
- 1/4 cup old fashioned oats (also known as rolled oats)
- Optional: pistachios, cranberries, or any of your favorite nuts and seeds
- Preheat oven to 350
- In food processor mix oats until they are powdery
- Add dates and mix in food processor until they are pasty
- Hand mix chickpeas and tahini together with oats and dates
- Place parchment paper on the bottom of a baking pan
- Spread mixture in pan
- Put in oven for 7-8 minutes
- Cool down completely before cutting and serving
