Healthy Whole Grain Granola Bars Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 300 degrees. Mix all ingredients together and spread out on two baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
• Bake until golden brown all over, about 35 to 50 minutes. Stir the granola as it bakes at least 2 or 3 times, making sure to stir around the edges. Cool completely before storing airtight.

Steps:

• Combine cereal, oats, nuts, seeds, coconut and fruit in a large mixing bowl.
• Heat the peanut butter, syrup, and vanilla in a small sauce pan until warm. Do not boil.
• Pour the peanut butter mixture over the cereal mixture. Mix well while syrup is still warm. I use my hands as they are the best tool for this mixing job!
• Pour mixture into a 9x13 pan.
• Pack the mixture down firmly with moist fingers or the bottom of another 9x13 pan sprayed with cooking spray.
• The chocolate lover should sprinkle on the mini chocolate chips at this point and press them in firmly.
• Cover with plastic wrap.
• Cool completely.
• Cut into 24 bars.
• Wrap individually and store in fridge.
• I have kept these in the fridge for 2 weeks and they still taste fabulous!

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F.
• Beat together bananas, brown sugar and splenda until creamy.

• Combine flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt and add to wet mixture.
• Stir in oats, puff cereal, raisins and cranberries and mix well.
• Spread evenly in a 13x9 inches baking pan lined with tin foil.
• Bake for 27-30 minutes until light golden brown.
• Remove from oven, let cool 1 minute and using tin foil as handles gently lift bars out of the cake pan. Pull away sides of tin foil and let cool completely at room temperature.
• Once cool, cut into 24 servings.
