As with most recipes I tweaked it a bit. My changes will be italicized.

Ingredients
- 1 cup almond or peanut butter (I used almond butter)
- 3/4 cup dark agave nectar or honey
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 3 cups old fashioned rolled oats (I used 1 cup oats and 2 cups of plain rice krispies. They were less calories.)
- 1 cup toasted slivered almonds
- 1/4 to 1/2 cup raisins or other dried fruit (I used 3/4 cup of dried blueberries)
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9 inch square pan with canola cooking spray. Combine almond butter and agave in a heavy bottomed sauce pan over medium-high heat. Whisk until melted - three to five minutes. Stir in vanilla and cinnamon. Add in oats/krispies, almonds and raisins/dried fruit.
Bake for 15 minutes. Let cool completely and cut into nine equal squares. (I only have an 8 inch square pan, so I used that. Since the bars were going to be thicker than the recipe, I cut them into 12 long rectangles like an actual granola bar.)

So Good! They're like a tasty, morning, rice krispy treat, except healthy. Brighten up my mornings.
ReplyDeleteHow long do these store?
ReplyDeleteI think I've only ever made enough for two weeks at a time, and they were still great at the end of the two weeks.
