Check out these awesome granola bars my mom made!! The recipe made 24 bars and as you can see she individually wrapped them! They look store bought but i'm sure they taste WAY better! I wish I didn't live so far away so I could try one!!!!
I'll post again when I have a chance to make my own :)
By the way, the macros (protein/fat/carbs) are going to vary depending on what ingredients you add. I have been using the MyFitnessPal app, which is also a website www.myfitnesspal.com
You can create an account and track your meals, snacks, and recipes! If you enter the ingredients you use to make these granola bars (you can even scan the bar code on the package instead of searching each item!) you will be able to enter the number of bars it made to find out the macros of each individual bar!
TIP: use the website BEFORE actually making the bars so you can see what the macros are and change the ingredients according to your goals.
Can't get much easier than that :)
RECIPE:
Dry ingredients
3 cups rolled
2.5 cups of seeds, nuts, puffed rice, puffed quinoa, pepitas, sunflower, chia, flax etc.
1 cup dried fruit (raisins, cranberries, apricots, dates etc.)
1/4 tsp. Salt
For the binder
2/3 cup nut butter (almond, cashew, peanut, etc.)
2/3 cup honey
Mix
dry ingredients in large bowl. The nuts and oats can be quickly
toasted in a pan, if you wish. Including puffed rice will make the bars
lighter in calories and density.
Mix honey and nut butter in a large pan. Slightly
melt and whisk over medium heat. This thins the wet ingredients and
makes for easier mixing.
Combine the mixtures
well, spread into a parchment lined or sprayed 13x9 dish. Use a spatula
to spread evenly and compress into the dish.
Refrigerate for a few hours. Cut into bars and wrap. Store in the fridge.
ENJOY!!
