Clean Chewy Nut Fruit & Dark Chocolate Chip Granola Bar Recipe
 
 
Author:
Ingredients
  • 2 cups old fashioned oats (we used organic)
  • ½ cup sunflower seeds (we used raw)
  • 1 cup chopped almonds (we used raw)
  • ½ cup peanuts (we were out so we used pumpkin seeds)
  • ½ cup raw honey
  • ⅓ cup of homemade/natural peanut butter
  • 1 oz butter (we used organic)
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp sea salt
  • 1½ cups dried fruit (we didn't have any so we used ½ organic dark chocolate)
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place oats on half pan in oven for 15 minutes. Place in a bowl when done and reduce oven temperature to 300 degrees.
  2. Meanwhile, combine honey, PB, vanilla,butter, and salt in saucepan and cook on medium, stirring constantly until well-combined. Immediately pour over cooked oats. Add nuts, fruit &/or chocolate chips (chocolate will melt a tad turning the bars brown like mine): mix until well-coated.
  3. For fruit options think out of the box. Raisins are yummy, but so are unsweetened apricots and cranberries.
  4. Press mixture evenly into greased baking pan, and place in the oven for 25 minutes.
  5. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely (about an hour) before cutting into 2 inch squares.
  6. Make sure to store in AIR TIGHT containers for them to last about 2 weeks.
