All Natural Granola Bars Recipe

Ingredients for All Natural Granola Bars

• 1/2 cup honey
• Smooth Peanut Butter
• Rolled Oats
• 1 cup ground pecans
• Whole Wheat Flour
• Ground Cinnamon
• 1/2 cup chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts, etc.)

How to Make All Natural Granola Bars

1. Gently warm honey in the microwave for 15-20 seconds to make it easier to mix. In a large bowl, combine warmed honey with peanut butter.
2. Add rolled oats, ground pecans, whole wheat flour, and cinnamon to the bowl.
3. Stir in your choice of chopped nuts, chocolate chips, and dried fruit. Mix well to combine all ingredients.
4. Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides to help lift the finished bars out. Press the granola mixture firmly and evenly into the prepared pan.
5. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
6. Remove from oven and let cool slightly in the pan before cutting. Cut into 20 bars while still warm for clean lines.
7. Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before lifting out with the parchment paper. Cut them apart completely if you did not cut them sufficiently while warm.
8. For easy grab-and-go breakfasts, wrap individual bars in parchment paper or plastic wrap. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or freeze for longer storage.
