Tips:
- Choose wholesome ingredients: Use oats, nuts, seeds, and dried fruits that are unsweetened and unprocessed.
- Keep it simple: A basic granola bar recipe only requires a few ingredients, so don't overcomplicate it.
- Use a food processor: This will help you quickly and easily chop the oats, nuts, and seeds.
- Don't overbake: Granola bars should be chewy, not crunchy. Bake them just until they are golden brown.
- Let them cool completely: Granola bars will firm up as they cool, so let them cool completely before cutting them into bars.
