Chewy Granola Bars

Store bought granola bars come loaded with sugar and unnecessary ingredients. If you want simple chewy gooey granola bars made from scratch that don't spike up your blood sugar, check out this recipe. Enjoy them as snack bars, or break them into a yogurt parfait for breakfast.

~ Makes 6 granola bars

Ingredients:

• 1 ¼ cups rolled oats
• ½ cup of add-ons of your choice (I used roasted chopped almonds, dried cranberries, pumpkin seeds, chocolate chips) anything goes!
• 3 tbsp melted coconut oil
• 3 tbsp raw honey
• 2 tbsp shredded unsweetened coconut
• ½ tsp vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 325° F.
2. Line a 9” x 5” loaf pan with parchment paper.
3. Combine the dry ingredients - oats, coconut and the add-ons.
4. Add the wet ingredients - honey, coconut oil and vanilla.
5. Combine thoroughly with a spatula.
6. Pour into the loaf pan and press down very firmly (this is important, otherwise your bars will fall apart).
7. Bake for 25 minutes. Let it cool for 30 minutes in the pan, then place it in the fridge for another 30 minutes. NOTE: do not remove from pan until fully cooled, otherwise it will all fall apart.
8. Remove from pan and cut into rectangular bars.
9. Enjoy with two tablespoons of plain yogurt and some berries. Yumm!
