CHEWY, NUTTY, HEALTHY GRANOLA BARS



Chewy, Nutty, Healthy Granola Bars image

Chewy, nutty, chocolaty, and packed with tasty energy, no one will ever know these bars are low-fat and healthy! They're very easy to make and you can pack in everyone's favorite nuts and fruits. My family has now stopped buying Kashi® and chewy bars because we love these so much. These are gluten-free when made with rice flour and appear to be professionally made thanks to the small spoonful of corn syrup that keeps everything tightly combined and gives the bars a nice shine. Have fun experimenting with different combinations of nuts, dried fruits, and toppings! Almond butter works well, too!

A very easy-to-make granola recipe that is delicious and the best snack ever. All the girls at my office eat this with yogurt every day. It's awesome! If you don't have some of the dry ingredients, just add more of what you do have. Walnuts are a fine substitute for pecans. You can also try dried blueberries instead of or with the cranberries.

NUTTY FRUIT FREE GRANOLA



Nutty Fruit Free Granola image

I don't like fruit (weird I know!) so buying granola/museli is a bit hard. I was looking for a recipe that didn't include fruit and found one from Feasts and Fotos (http://feastsandfotos.wordpress.com/2008/11/04/homemade-granola/). I've adapted it a bit.

2 cups old fashioned oats
