Granola Bars
Granola Bars Recipe Granola bars can be a healthy option for a snack. They are a good balance of salty and sweet . I’m intolerant to every single brand of protein bar with the exception FoodSpring . After a workout I like to have something to munch on to get me through until I can get home .These give me a good boost of energy and satisfy my sweet tooth at the same time. A lot of store bought granola bars have artificial ingredients and there’s nothing better than making healthy treats you can enjoy guilt free yourself. Here you go enjoy XO Tera Ingredients for Granola Bars 2 Cups of oats 1 cup of puffed rice (not rice crispies cereal ) 1/2 cup chocolate chips ( I use dark chocolate or fondente) 1/4 cup chia seeds 1/2 cup of honey 1/3 cup of peanut butter or almond butter . I used Peanut 1/4 cup coconut oil How to make granola bars You’re going to bake these at 325F / 165C for 30 minutes after you combine your ingredients and pour then press them into your pan. I used an 8×8 inch pan with parchment paper so it’s less mess and easy to lift out .Mix all of your dry ingredients together in one bowl . You can also add in 1/4 cup of nuts . I did two batches one with and without and both were tasty. Mix the honey , peanut butter , and coconut oil until it’s smooth and creamy. You can add in almond or vanilla extract here too if you want for more flavor depth. Combine your wet mixture into the dry, stir it until it’s smooth then pour it into your pan. Make sure you press it down into your pan firmly as thats what’s going to help your bars stay firm and molded. Bake for 30 mins but check them at 20 . Everyones oven is different so 20 may also be enough time . let them rest and cool for a good hour then you can cut them up ! Keep them in an airtight container . XO
