Trail Mix Granola Bars

Servings 12

Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup peanut butter
  • ½ cup honey
  • ¼ cup avocado oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup white whole wheat flour
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • cups oats
  • ½ cup nuts
  • ½ cup dried fruit
  • ¼ cup chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
    Grab a 8x8 inch pan and line with parchment paper. Use a large piece that hangs out of the sides of the pan, like a sling, to pull out the bars after baking. Or, grease your pan well.
  • In a medium bowl, combine peanut butter honey, oil & vanilla. Mix well.
    Add flour, baking soda, salt & oats. Mix well.
  • Pick your favorite nuts, dried fruit & chocolate chips (these have pecans, pistachios, dried cherries & dark chocolate chips). Mix them in.
    Press dough firmly into the pan.
  • Bake for 18-20 minutes or until the center looks cooked & edges are brown.
    Allow to cool completely before removing from pan or they will crumble.
    Store in the refrigerator to harden. The more goodies we pack into them, the crumblier they are. If you hate crumble, add less nuts, dried fruit & chocolate chips.
