Crunchy Granola Bars
We really like crunchy granola bars but can't eat the popular ones on the market due to the added soy protein, eggs and dairy. So I decided to create my own recipe. Here is one that I tried today. I forgot about them. OOPS! So the edges are a little brown.....well really brown but DG thinks they taste like roasted marshmallows. LOL! I am pleased with them and thought others might like them as well. They do contain quite a bit of sugar between the honey and the brown sugar. I did not mess with that yet. ;)
Crunchy Granola Bars
3/4 c melted coconut oil
1 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp cinnamon
3/4 c brown sugar
Mix together as well as possible. Immediately pour into:
4 cups GF oatmeal
1 c unsweetened coconut
1/2 - 3/4 chopped dark unsweetened chocolate *
Mix thoroughly until everything is incorporated. Press into an 10 x 15 jelly roll pan. Bake at 450. MAKE SURE YOU WATCH THEM!!!!!!!!!!!! When they are evenly browned, remove from the oven. Score/cut with a pizza cutter. Allow to cool completely. Remove from pan and break apart. YUMMY!
* Make sure to use dairy free unsweetened chocolate or dark chocolate
