Granola bars

So I read through a bunch of recipes online and decided to wing my own granola bars hoping they would turn out good. Well, they turned out amazing! So easy to make too. I had all of these ingredients laying around my kitchen so it was practically free to make. Keep in mind this is just a base recipe you can pretty much add and subtract anything you want or don't want in your bars.

Ingredients: 

2 cups rolled oats

Dried cranberries(I'll ballpark it around a 1/2 cup)

Shaved almonds(1/2 cup)

Peanut butter chips (1/2 cup)

Sunflower seeds(1/2 cup)

Tablespoon of cinnamon

1 cup brown sugar

1/2 stick of butter

3-5 tablespoons honey, raw local if you have the option

4 tablespoons peanut butter 

Foil

Baking sheet or casserole dish

1) Mix the first set of ingredients really well and set aside. 

2) melt butter in a pan on med/low heat, add brown sugar, honey and peanutbutter. Be careful not to burn or let bubble.

3) line casserole dish or baking sheet with foil.

4) combine butter mixture with dry ingredients and incorporate well.

5) pour into baking sheet and pack granola down. 

6) Bake for 10 minutes at 350 degrees.

7) pull from oven and allow to cool but cut bars before it completely sets.

8) refrigerate until completely cool then portion in plastic wrap/foil/ziplock bags for a quick treat on the go.
