Healthy Granola Bar Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups Chickpeas, boiled
- 2 tsp Brown Sugar
- 1 1/2 cups Oatmeal
- 1 cup Kamut Puffs
- 1/2 cup Dried Apricots
- 2 Dates
- 1/4 cup Sunkist Raisins
- 1/6 cup Golden Mulberries
- 1/2 cup Natural Peanut Butter
- 1/4 cup Honey
- 3 tbsp 100% Organic Coconut Oil
- 1 rounded tbsp Sprouted Ground Flax
Directions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
Mix the ground flax seed with 1/4 cup warm water, set aside to thicken.
Toss the chickpeas in the sucanat and 1 tsp of the cinnamon. Bake for 10 minutes, stir around in the pan, then back for 10 more minutes. Add the oatmeal to the pan and bake for 5 more minutes, stirring the oatmeal once.
Stir together the peanut butter, honey, canola oil, and flax paste.
Combine the chickpeas, oatmeal, cereal, dried fruits, and remaining tsp of cinnamon.
Pour the wet ingredients over the dry and stir to combine.
Press the mixture into a greased pan. My 9×13 casserole dish was just a little too big, so go for an 8×8 if you have it. Really PRESS and PACK IN the mixture as hard as you can. Refrigerate until firm, then cut into 24 bars.
