Frog Prince eats granola bars like they grow on trees. While we're partial to Quaker Chewy granola bars (they are the only ones made without tree nuts!), I've been trying a bunch of different recipes to find one that we can make ourselves.
Most of the recipes I've found online use peanut butter or seeds or nuts...., so I try to modify them. This one uses honey, and is quite delicious.
Crunchy Honey Granola Bars - Modified from SuperHealthyKids
2 C oats (1 C old fashioned, 1 C instant)
1 C packed brown sugar
1 C whole wheat flour
1/2 C honey
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt (I used less)
1 tsp. vanilla
Add-ins... raisins/other dried fruit, chocolate chips
In a bowl, combine dry ingredients.
 |
Stir together to mix well.
 |
Add in honey and vanilla. Use a fork to mix... making to form clumps. Then, add in fruit or other add-ins.
 |
Spray a 9x13 pan (or 2 8x8 pans), and press the granola bar mix in the pan. Mix will be very crumbly. (It looks so crumbly that I wasn't sure they'd actually be bars when done... but they were!)
 |
 |
Bake at 325 for 20 minutes, until the edges of the granola bars are browned.
 |
Allow to cool completely before cutting. Then, cut into strips to make granola bars. Store in an airtight container.

Frog Prince gave these two thumbs up!
