Recipe: Home Made Granola Bars

This recipe is very flexible and allows you to basically throw in whatever you have around the house for nuts, seeds and dried fruit. Here is the ingredient list for the latest batch I made. Post your ideas about what you put in, I'd love to mix it up next time!

Ingredients:
  • 2 cups of rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup chopped almonds
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/4 cup sunflower seeds
  • 1/2 cup dried fruit
  • 2 tbsp flax seeds
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup applesauce
  • 3 large ripe bananas
Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Toast the oats, nuts and seeds on a baking sheet unit lightly toasted (about 10 min).

Meanwhile in a medium sized bowl mash the bananas and combine with the applesauce. Mix in cinnamon. Once the nuts and seeds are toasted add to the fruit mixture and mix well.

Line a baking dish with parchment paper. Pour mixture into the baking dish and press down evenly. Bake for about 30 minutes, transfer to a wire rack to cool and then cut into bars.
