The ultimate granola bar recipe.

I have been trying to be very consistent with making our meals at home instead of going out for the convenience. I am embarrassed to say what we spent last month on eating out. This also includes snacks. Ones that are healthy and appealing are important. 

To help with this commitment I chose to subscribe to Allrecipes  for a year, and we have definitely found some hits one being a granola bar recipe. If you have made a few granola bar recipes - you know that sometimes its all about finding the one that isn't going to break you teeth after it sets. Again it's also so important to find that balance between taste and nutrition. 

What I used was the Playgroup Granola Bars and switched it out with other ingredients. 

What you will need: 
2 cups instant oats

¾ cup coconut palm sugar (found at Costco and a great brown sugar alternative)

½ cup of wheat germ 

¾ teaspoon cinnamon

1 cup all purpose flour

¾ cup craisins  

¾ teaspoon salt

½ cup honey

1 egg, beaten

½ cup coconut oil  

2 teaspoons vanilla extract 



Steps
Preheat the over to 35o degrees fahrenheit 
Grease 9x13 baking pan
In large bowl mix, oats, palm sugar, wheat germ, cinnamon, flour, craisins, and salt. 
Pour in the honey, egg, coconut oil, and vanilla. 
Mix well and pat the mixture evening into greased pan
Bake for 30-35 minutes in preheated over, until bars begin to turn golden at edges. 
Cool for 5 minutes, cut into bars while still warm. 
Do not all the bars to cool completely before cutting as they will be too hard to cut. 

This is a recipe that was great for Carter to help out with. We kept the granola bars in our cookie jar and they kept pretty well for the week that they lasted.
