Granola bars

After destroying my DIY Larabars by dropping my spatula in the food processor I needed to make something else!

I was determined to not spend any money on ingredients, so granola bars were the answer!

You'll need-

1 1/2 cup oats

1/2 cup peanut butter

3/4 cup honey

1/2 cup chopped pitted dates

1/4 cup flax seed meal

1/4 cup chocolate chips

1/4 cup sliced almonds

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

-Put oats and almonds on a sheet pan and put under the broiler for 1-2 min, until the almonds start to brown

- Pour the honey in a microwave safe bowl and microwave for 20 seconds, while warm add the peanut butter and honey

-Put all dry ingredients in a small baking dish then pour honey mixture over and mix (the chocolate will melt)

-Put in the refrigerator for 1 1/2 hours and then cut into tiny bars

These little hands enjoyed these! Next time I may try a little less honey, the chocolate acts as a great glue!

Back to teaching Mr.M about the smell of Spring rain...he's sniffing the open window saying it smells good =)
