6 HOMEMADE GRANOLA ENERGY BARS RECIPES

Steps:

• To make each Homemade Granola Bar Recipe:
• Combine dates, honey, nut butter or nuts, and coconut oil in food processor or high-powered blender (such as Vitamix or Blendtec). If you want to blend the oats into a flour-type consistency, add to food processor. If you want hearty oats (like a granola bar), stir in oats when you add mix-ins.
• Pulse mixture until smooth.
• Place mixture into a bowl and stir in remaining mix-in ingredients.
• Press into a small pan or baking dish (I use a quarter baking sheet) and place into freezer to chill for 15 minutes to allow the bars to set up.
• Remove from freezer and cut into bars.
• Store in pantry, refrigerator, or freezer.
