Granola Bars

Homemade Granola Bars

Granola bars are a popular breakfast meal, but many store-brands contain an alarming amount of sugar and preservatives. Although homemade granola doesn’t have the same shelf-life as the commercial-made variety, it’s easy to whip up and pretty tasty—it probably won’t last long anyway! Here is a basic recipe for making your own granola bars; change it up based on your preferences and tastes:

• A few cups of rolled oats
  
• A cup of shredded coconut
  
• 1 cup of honey or brown sugar
  
• A handful of raisins
  
• A handful of nuts
  
• A handful of chocolate chips

Mix all the ingredients together a bowl and press into a well-greased 9x13” baking pan. Bake in the oven at 350 until lightly golden brown. Remove and allow to cool completely before cutting into bars.
