Homemade Granola Bars

Homemade Granola Bar Recipe

Yield: 12 Granola Bars

• 2 cups Rolled oats

• 1 cup dried fruit of choice, chopped (dates, apricot, goji berries, fig, raisins)

• 1/2 cup nuts of choice, chopped (almonds, pecans, peanuts, walnuts, cashews, etc)

• 3 tbsp chia seeds

• 3 tbsp other choice (pumpkin, hemp, flax, coconut, chocolate)

• 1/2 tsp salt

• 1 tsp cinnamon

• 1/2 cup honey, melted

• 3 tbsp natural peanut butter, melted (or other nut butter)

• 2 tbsp coconut oil, melted

Method

1. Add all dry ingredients to a large bowl and mix to combine. Chop nuts and dried fruit into smaller pieces if they are full-size.

2. Melt peanut butter, honey and coconut oil together.

3. Pour over the dry ingredients.

4. Mix (Kneed) all ingredients together with your hands. (I recommend running your hands under water and then doing this to avoid granola sticking to your hands)

5. Line a casserole dish with parchment paper and pour your granola bar mixture into it.

6. Press it down. (if it is very sticky you can add a tbsp of water, but it will get less crumbly once frozen)

7. Freeze for at least 30 minutes before cutting into portions.

8. Store in fridge or freezer. (I recommend freezer)

9. Enjoy on its own or with milk and berries, OR my personal favourite, greek yogurt and berries!
