{Homemade Granola Bars}

These are good granola bars!! I love them and they are so addictive. Next time i am going to try honey instead of the molasses b/c the molasses was too strong in the bar. But i still enjoyed them. OR i could do 1/3 cup honey and 1/4 cup molasses. That could be good. These are easy to make! No need to buy store bought anymore. These are healthier for you too. ALSO, i added flaxseed to my granola bars. I add flaxseed to anything i think it would be good in. It's great for you!
Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups old fashioned oatmeal
1 cup nuts, seeds, or spices OR a combination of all three ....totaling 1 cup
1/3 + 1/4 cup honey, agave, molasses, or maple syrup. You can mix up flavors or just use one.
1 cup total dried fruit
1 cup apple butter or almond butter
Directions:
I just combined all the ingredients. If you want the pieces chopped up more fine, then use a food processor. Line your cake pan with parchment paper. Poor the mixture in and press down really hard on the mixture to pack it in good. Bake at 325 for 25 minutes. Remove from oven and cool in the freezer until they are firm. Then cut into the size you want.
They can be stored in an air tight container for a week. OR will last frozen up to a month. Enjoy!
