Homemade Nut-Free Granola Bars

If there's one thing I've missed since we began our allergy journey, it's granola bars. It was always a great healthy snack to fall back on and I've seriously been trying to come up with a recipe since last spring. I am pleased to share with you that I have FINALLY came up with one! I searched and searched for nut free granola bar recipes online, but if they were nut free then they had some sort of seed in them (which we can't have either). So after many tries, I have finally come up with one that stays together like a granola bar should and is pretty delicious as well. You can also substitute chocolate chips for the dried fruit if you'd like.



Nut Free Granola Bars
4 cups oats
1/4 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 cup organic raw sugar
1 cup mixture of raisins and cranberries
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 cup coconut oil, melted
1 tsp. vanilla
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup maple syrup

Preheat oven to 325. Combine 1st 5 ingredients in a bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together remaining ingredients. Pour the wet ingredients over the dry and mix. together until fully coated. Place granola mixture in a greased 13x9 inch glass baking pan and spread evenly.

                         

Bake 40 minutes. Cool for 15-20 minutes and then cut into bars. Store in a tupperware dish.
