Here they are!! Just in time for summer! I am not a fan of turning on my oven during summer so these were a major hit! Perfect lunch when in company with a green smoothie!
No-Bake Granola Bars
3/4c raw honey
1/3c sucanat/brown sugar
2/3c sunflower seed butter or any nut butter of your choice
6T melted coconut oil
1-2T blackstrap molasses
4c oats or granola
1 1/2c organic crispy rice cereal
5T flaxseed meal
2T chia seeds
1c total of any or all the following: craisins, nuts, chocolate chips, coconut, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, etc. (we used craisins, sunflower seeds and coconut) Whatever your fancy!
Heavily grease (or line with parchment paper) 2 cookies sheets. I did 2 9X13" pans but the second pan was only 3/4 full.... which was fine, I just had to shape them a little. :) Mix honey, sugar, coconut oil, sunflower seed butter and molasses in a saucepan over medium heat until melted. Combine the rest of the ingredients with the honey mixture and mix well. Pour the oat mixture into 2 pans and press down firmly all the way to the corners! Then refrigerate 30mins - 1 hr. When cool cut into bars...... its so simple and they are yummy! Enjoy!
