Granola Bars

When I was growing up, my best friend's Mom made the BEST homemade granola.  It was full of delicious things like sunflower seeds and raisins and goodness.  I loved getting a bowl full of that when I slept over!

Because I am VEGAN (as my Mom so kindly points out to waitresses, ha ha!  Love you Mom!), I can't eat most commerical granola bars.  So, when I saw Julie's recipe for granola, I lifted it, added in a few things of my own, and made it into a bar!

Ingredients

3/4 c crunchy peanut butter (you could use regular, but you'll be missing out!)
3/4 c honey
2 c oats (I prefer a smaller flaked oat for this)
1/2 c raisins
1/4 raw almonds, chopped

Melt the peanut butter and honey in the microwave and mix in the almonds, oats and raisins.  Stir together, this should form a slightly wet, doughy consistency.  Press into a greased pan and bake at 350 degrees for about 14  minutes.  Let cool before cutting into squares

So yummy!

Hello my little vegan friendly bar

The best part of these bars?  The crumbles that are left over
after.  Because they fell OFF of the bar, they are actually
calorie free.  All of the calories stay with the original bar.  Awesome!

Imma gonna eat ya!
