Directions

1. Homemade granola bars. I kinda just threw a bunch of stuff together and they came out great. So I'm going to share the recipe. These are also gluten free ( I use gluten free oats).
2. Preheat oven to 350 F.
3. Mix all ingredients in a bowl until well combined. Press into a parchment lined 9x13 pan. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until edges start to brown. Remove and let cool. Cut into bars or squares.
4. (TIP: Leave a lip of parchment paper over the bars so when you remove from pan to cut you can just lift out with the parchment).
