So to back up a little, since we started this clean eating journey, I have been in the search for a cheap and easy way to make granola bars for the family. We absolutely love them and we chow down on some Cliff bars - but those things aren't cheap at all! Thank goodness Target has them on sale all. the. time! Since we all love them, especially my kiddos, I have had to ration them out daily! The rule now in the Hart house is one granola bar a day. My kids would eat them for every meal and every snack!! Now don't get me wrong, I definitely could eat an entire box in one day as well. They are way too good!
So I think I have found one that has decent ingredients and I actually have all the ingredients in my cabinet except the cocoa nibs.
So here they are:
4 cups old fashioned oats (gluten-free if you prefer)
1/3 cup coconut oil*
1 cup raw honey*
4 teaspoons of pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon of sea salt
1/8 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
1 1/2 cups almonds, chopped (a food processor works great for this)
1/2 cup cocoa nibs* (optional) - These are unsweetened bits of chopped cocoa that contain no sweeteners or other ingredients.
This recipe is courtesy of www.naturalnews.com. I have not made these yet but that is on my agenda today! So I should be back tomorrow with the news on how well they turned out!!
But I am asking my readers for your help! If you have a good homemade granola recipe, please share!!!
Trying to keep our budget down while clean eating is extremely hard but we are trying!!
Hope you all have a good hump day!!
