Granola Bar

Ingredients

makes 8-10 bars

• 2 ripe bananas
• ½ cup nut butter (peanut, almond, cashew), preferably all natural
• ½ cup roughly chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts, pistachio, cashew, pecan, macadamia)
• ¼ cup seeds (sunflower, sesame, poppy, chia)
• 1 cup rolled oats
• ¼ cup dried, unsweetened fruit (cranberry, cherry, apricots, papaya, mango, raisin, strawberry, blueberry)
• ¼ cup chocolate chips or cacao nibs (optional)
• ½ teaspoon cinnamon, optional
• ¼ cup unsweetened shredded coconut (optional)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350˚F. Line an 8×8 in. baking pan with parchment.
2. In a large bowl, mash the bananas with the back of a fork. Stir in the nut butter until well combined.
3. Add the oats, chopped nuts, seeds, dried fruit, chocolate, cinnamon, and coconut.
4. Stir until everything is well combined. The batter will be very, very wet, but it will still bake
5. Spread the batter evenly into your prepared baking pan. Bake for 20-25 minutes. The top should be slightly browned and give a little when pressed.
6. Allow to cool completely before cutting into bars; this is important. Store wrapped tightly in a container or in the refrigerator.
