Never made homemade granola bars? You should start with this recipe. This homemade granola bar is a lot healthier than store bought and it’s simple to prepare. All you need to do is mix all of the ingredients together in a bowl and then spread it on a lined baking sheet, pop in a preheated oven and bake until the edges are golden brown!
This recipe includes sliced almonds, pecans and sunflower seeds, but use whatever nuts you have on hand or like. The nuts are best if they are raw and chopped or thinly sliced.
Add pieces of your favorite dried fruit or even mini chocolate chips to sweeten the taste. Use dairy free chips for a vegan granola bar.
If you add the chopped dried fruit, press it into the bars during the last 4-5 minutes of baking so they don’t burn and get too chewy and hard.
