All Natural Granola Bars

By

Ingredients

  • 1 cup honey (or maple syrup)
  • 2 ⁄3 cup natural smooth peanut butter
  • 2 2⁄3 cups regular rolled oats
  • 1 ⁄3 cup ground pecans (or wheat germ)
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour (or regular)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 cups nuts or 2 cups seeds or 2 cups coconut or 2 cups chopped dried fruit or 2 cups chocolate chips, etc

Preparation

Step 1

Warm honey slightly in microwave and combine with peanut butter.
Add oats, ground pecans, flour, and cinnamon.
Stir in nuts, chips, dried fruit, etc.
(My favorite combo is 1/2°C of dried fruit, 1/2°C of mini choc. chips, 1/2°C chopped almonds, 1/4°C sunflower seeds, and 1/4°C ground flax seeds).
PRESS DOWN FIRMLY and evenly in sprayed 9x13 pan.
Bake @ 350 for about 15 minutes - edges will begin to brown.
Remove from oven and cut IMMEDIATELY into 20 bars.
Allow to cool completely.
I wrap bars individually for easy grabbing in the mornings!
