Can’t make it to the store to buy your favorite granola bars? No problem! You can make these Honey Nut and Oat Granola Bars at home.

Over the past few weeks, I’ve been spending a lot more time in the kitchen experimenting, creating and tasting.  The latter has been my favorite part.  I’ve really enjoyed being back in the kitchen and actually having the energy and desire to cook.

I appreciate being approached by brands about working together. To be honest, I’m still in awe when my inbox is inundated with these requests. I can’t say yes to all the requests, but when my passion and work collide, it’s easy to say yes. And that is where this Honey Nut and Oat Granola Bar recipe came from.

With how easy and fast these are to make, I don’t see why I would ever have to buy granola bars again. And lets not forget to mention that I didn’t add any preservatives making these a much healthier version of the beloved granola bar.

What I really like about this recipe is I can pretty much change the ingredients depending on how I’m feeling.  The possibilities are endless and this should just be used as a starting point for you to create your own granola bars depending on your tastes.

When I get a thumbs up from each of my three children, I know I’ve done something right and it makes my little heart happy! It’s the small victories throughout life that give me reason to sing.

Honey Nut and Oat Granola Bars

Yield: 14 bars
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 23 minutes
Total Time: 33 minutes

A healthier version of the beloved granola bar that proves healthy foods aren't always complicated and time-consuming.

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup walnuts
  • 1/3 cup sliced almonds
  • 1/3 cup pecans
  • 1/8 cup ground flaxseed
  • 1/3 cup lightly packed light brown sugar
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 2 cups oats
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup honey

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Put walnuts, almonds and pecans in a ziploc bag, wrapped in a dish towel. With a rolling pin or similar object lightly pound to break nuts into smaller pieces.
  2. Mix all dry ingredients into a large mixing bowl. Add wet ingredients and mix together. Mixture should be crumbly and sticky.
  3. Grease a 11x13 pan and firmly press dough into the pan. Use a sheet of parchment paper laid over the top of the mixture to help keep your hands clean and from sticking.
  4. Bake for 23 minutes or until the edges turn brown. Let cool completely in the pan. Cut into 14 bars.
  5. Take out of pan and store in an airtight container. I know they'll stay good for 5 days, but haven't had a batch last longer than that yet.

    I have a cookie bar recipe that uses a mixture of nuts and butterscotch chips on a crust. They disappear in no time when I make them.

    Ooooh–your granola bars looks wonderful! I might make a variation with dried cherries. I might also add nuts to roasted veggies or fried rice.

    I would make fudge with the walnuts, chocolate chip cookies with the pecans and add almonds to my homemade granola topping for my yogurt.

    I like to experiment with oatmeal, so I’d grab some fresh fruit and mix some nuts into this, that and the other. Boom.
