Granola Bars with Oats Raisins and Chocolate
Making your own granola is easier than you think, and the beauty of doing it yourself is you can customize it to suit your taste plus it’s so much cheaper than buying it in the store. A few other granolas I enjoy making are Low Fat Chewy Bars with Pecans Raisins and Chocolate, Morning Maple Cranberry Pecan Oat Bars and Banana Split Quinoa Bars.
You’re probably wondering why I am posting so many baked recipes in this heat but I am having some work done to my house and it’s really hard to cook around here this week. I made these last week knowing things would be chaotic around here… you are going to love these!!! I cut them in long bars like the granola bars you buy in the store, but it’s actually a lot easier to cut them in squares which is how I will make them in the future. If you are a regular on my site, you might notice the similarities to my chewy chocolate chip oatmeal cookies! I used that recipe as a base and made some modifications to create this as a bar. I knew they would work out great and they disappeared quickly in my house as you can see by the photo, they almost left me nothing to photograph!
Try them with cranberries instead of raisins, you can replace the chocolate chips with mini m and m’s, leave the nuts out, add coconut, whatever you like!!
