Here is an easy recipe and it includes all natural sweeteners and ingredients! These bars are way cheaper than store bought granola bars!Plus you can customize it according to your family’s taste and allergies!They can be easily wrapped individually to take in the car or packed in a lunch!
These are great when you need a quick, grab and go snack to take along with you for those quick trips to the soccer field or on family trips.

Ingredients

1/3 cup honey
1/4 cup organic coconut oil
1 cup oats
1 cup total of any combination of:sesame seeds, coconut flakes, sunflower seeds, dried fruit, mini organic chocolate chips

*Note:Homemade nut butter

All you need to do is soak any raw nuts of your choice for 6 hours in filtered water. Drain and pat dry, add to food processor and process until the mixture forms a ball. Approximately 6 minutes.You can add sea salt to taste or melted organic coconut oil to make it a smoother consistency.Seal in glass jar and refrigerate for up to two weeks.

Method

1.In a medium sized saucepan, melt together homemade nut butter, honey and coconut oil.
2.Remove from heat and add one cup of oats.
3.Choose your favorite combination of coconut flakes, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, dried fruit and mini chocolate chips, to equal a total of ONE CUP.(I just got out my one cup measuring cup and poured in the ingredients until the cup was full) Add to mixture.
5.Stir well, then spread mixture into a 8×8 or 9×4 pan.Chill for two hours.
6. Cut and wrap individual portions.
