The true test of a successful formula in our house is when the kids exhaust it , ask for more , and there are no leftovers .
It is our goal to make trusted that those recipes are made from natural ingredients , contain no preservative and are easy accessible .
We have an easy fourth dimension making hefty dinners , but after schooltime bite can sometimes be a challenge .
Of course we fill our house with tonic yield and vegetables but allow ’s be naturalistic , sometimes you require that snack when you are ‘ on the go ’ . What better room to get that little boost of energy than from a granola cake .
But do n’t snap up one of those boxes off the shelf at your favorite grocery store store — have you ever depend at what those are made of ? ? ? ? Corn Syrup solid , High Fructose Corn Syrup , and BHT — where in the universe do you buy that ? ?
We have spent weeks trying to make the double-dyed ‘ natural ’ granola bar — and FINALLY have done it ! ! !
In fact , when I get a textbook that I should be selling these , I study that a winner ! And when I got home … yes , they were all gone !
So no more , 100 calorie granola bars from a box — it is clock time this folk take in their own Homemade Granola Bars for good !
Homemade Granola Bar Recipe
1 1/2 cups old - fashioned oats
1 loving cup puffed or crispy rice cereal
1/2 cupful chopped or slivered nut ( I used Prunus dulcis slivers )
3/4 cupful raisins
1/2 cup honey ( or browned Elmer Reizenstein sirup to make it vegan well-disposed )
1 teaspoonful virginal vanilla selection
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
3 tablespoons peanut butter ( or any nut butter fresh ground )
1.Heat the oven to 325 ° F . Line the baking cooking pan with parchment , leaving extra parchment to advert over 2 of the sides . Lightly coat with nonstick cooking spray .
2 . Mix the oat , cereal , nuts , and raisins together in a mixing sports stadium .
3.In a small stadium , mix the dear , vanilla , salt , cinnamon , and peanut butter .
4 . Pour the honey miscellany over the dry ingredients . Stir until the ingredient are completely coated and start to stick together in clunk .
5 . Pour the mixture into the prepared goat god . Use an superfluous piece of parchment report to firmly press the mixing into the goat god .
6.Bake for 20 - 25 minutes for chewy granola ginmill or 25 - 30 minutes for crunchy bars . As before long as you remove the bars from the oven , press them again with the back of a lightly anele spatula for well compacted granola bars .
Of naturally you’re able to customize this formula to make to your own spec — add cranraisins , or almond butter . Whatever you choose to do , experimentation and I am certain you and your family will sleep together the results ! !
