Make it HOMEMADE
I have made and re-made 100 types of homemade granola bars… So let’s break it down!
Key ingredients
Oats… duh! Just make sure they say Gluten Free. I vote Thick Rolled Oats (not instant)
Seeds: I use pumpkin or sunflower seeds. are great sources of fiber. Seeds can help reduce blood sugar, cholesterol and blood pressure.
Nut Butter: I’m a sucker for nut butter. Especially Peanut Butter. Try Rustys Nuts all natural and local to Israel.
Sweetener: You’ll need a little extra touch to keep it all together. Date syrup, honey, maple syrup? All good options just make sure they’ll liquid (not grain sugar)
Grrranola
1 cup Oats
1/4 cup Pumpkin or Sunflower Seeds
1/2 cup Vanilla Espresso Peanut Butter from Rusty’s Nuts
*My Favorite Trick: 1/4 cup oats and 1/4 cup seeds GROUND into flour.
1/4 cup dried fruit
*My Favorite Trick: Soak dried fruit in hot water for a little bit to soften up before adding them into the mix.
1/4 cup maple syrup
Don’t forget Chia Seeds + Hemp Seeds (about 1-2 tbsp of each)
Mix and MOLD into silicone granola bar holder. Here is the container I use Granola Bars
