Healthy Granola Bars
While I was in Portland last week my aunt and I attempted homemade granola bars. We couldn’t find the exact recipe we wanted to use, so we kinda adapted several and made it our own. The final product didn’t turn out exactly how we’d like, but thought I share my experience anyway… hey, maybe you could learn from our mistakes. The taste was absolutely amazing; sweet, salty, and savory, but we had chuncks of granola rather than bars. In order to better bind all the ingredients, Mrs. Nicole recommends reducing the amount of oats from 2 ½ cups to 1 ½. It’s all about trial and error, right? =)
If you try this out, I would love to hear how it goes! Enjoy!
