Recipe for Chewy Granola Bars
I recently told you about the bars I have been making for my daughter’s lunch. It’s one of our favorite lunch box treats, the Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Bar. But I’m always up for variety. I don’t want her to get burned out on the same old thing. Well, the other day I was reading Deeba’s blog Passionate about Baking and she had made and ?LOVED? these chewy granola bars, I’m always in awe of Deeba, her food, her pictures, and her French Macarons! If you have never been to Deeba’s site, you must. It’s beautiful! So I knew I had to give these granola bars a try! The good thing about these bars, is that you can personalize them to fit your taste. You could add cranberries, cherries, or raisins. Pecans, walnut, or pistachios. Wheat germ, flax seed, or sesame seed. How about white chocolate and macadamia nuts. Ohhh, the possibilities are endless. I made mine with chocolate chips , unsweetened coconut and pecans. (Did I tell you how good these were?) I doubled the batch and gave you the recipe as I made them. Next time, I’ll add some flax seed. These are so much better then any store bought granola bar that I’ve ever bought. They are easy to make, easy to change up flavors, easy on the pocketbook! They were thick, chewy,and just plain delicious! I hope you will give these a try. You wont be sorry!
