Granola Bar Recipe

October 19, 2010 By Gwen Brown 9 Comments

This is the granola bar recipe of my dreams. I’d been on the hunt for a way to make my own granola bars for a couple of years now.  I kept finding recipes that required lots of ingredients, and too many steps.  Like “Make a double batch of granola, and then use it to make…
