Granola Bars





Homemade Chewy Granola Bars (without corn syrup!)

Ingredients

1/2 cup peanut butter or sunbutter
1/3 cup honey
1/4 cup coconut oil (or another oil of your choice)
1 cup oats
1 cup total of any combination of: sesame seeds, coconut flakes, sunflower seeds, dried fruit, mini chocolate chips

Instructions

In a medium sized saucepan, melt together peanut butter, honey and coconut oil.Remove from heat and add one cup of oats.Choose your favorite combination of coconut flakes, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, dried fruit and mini chocolate chips, to equal a total of ONE CUP. (I just got out my one cup measuring cup and poured in the ingredients until the cup was full.)Pour in and stir well.Spread mixture into a 8×8 or 9×4 pan.Chill for two hours, then cut into bars.

Hot Mama Notes - Mine are currently chilling in the frig, so I don't know cohesiveness yet, but they taste delicious. For my 1 cup of add-ins, I used approximately 1/2 c milk chocolate chips, and 1/2 c slivered Almonds. There are also a few heath bits thrown in. YUM! No wonder my taste test was so good!! All the chocolate chips melted, though.  Update: These could never be used in hot weather (which we live in!!) as a bar.  They are too melty, even just our of the Frig.  But they do taste good, we just need to eat them with a spoon!

Hot Mama Grade: B+
