Directions
So many granola bars types out there today on the market, MOST contain a bunch of sugar and OTHER fillers. And are no where as good for you as these homemade! I have tried a few recipes throughout the years, trying to prefect the best bar. Not to CHEWY but not to HARD and I found for this TYPE of recipe simple is Best. These no sugar bars can be made with just 5 ingredients, cost half of what the store bought variety would and take less than 10 minutes to prepare. With just some good old ingredients of “Oatmeal, Honey, Coca powder, Walnuts and your favorite Peanut butter variety, you to can enjoy homemade Granola bars too. I like to use Organic peanut butter with chia seeds in it, its less sweet than regular peanut butter, but the type you use is completely up to you but its best to use one without all the added oils & sugar. Whipping these up on a lazy Sunday is best BECAUSE you can store them covered in the fridge for an easy Quick on the Go breakfast throughout the week. Or if your heading into the great outdoors these can be excellent for that kind of adventure. Me and Jason, tend to eat one a day and so they go by end week!
