Hormone Friendly Granola Bars with Chocolate

These granola bars were one of my go-to snacks during postpartum. They’re soft, nourishing, and easy to make with one bowl and a blender. Whether you’re breastfeeding, healing after birth, or just trying to eat better, these are made to fuel you — with ingredients that support hormones, digestion, and energy.

You can find the seeds and kitchen tools I use here.

Why These Ingredients Matter

Oats are great for supporting milk supply and digestion. Flax and chia seeds are full of healthy fats and plant-based omega-3s that support hormones and inflammation. Peanut butter brings protein and lasting energy, and honey or maple syrup offers a gentle, natural sweetness. Coconut oil and dark chocolate? A little antioxidant-rich, mood-boosting magic — because you deserve it.

Ingredients

For the Bars:

• 2 cups rolled oats

• 1/2 cup natural peanut butter

• 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup

• 2 tbsp ground flax seeds

• 1 tbsp chia seeds

• Optional: 1/2 tsp vanilla, pinch of sea salt

• Splash of warm water (if needed to blend)

Blend oats, flax, and chia until just broken down.

1. Add peanut butter and sweetener. Blend again until smooth. Add a splash of warm water if it’s too thick.

2. Press the mixture into a parchment-lined dish.

3. Melt chocolate and coconut oil together, then spread over the top.

4. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before slicing into bars.
