Homemade granola bars was one of the first recipes I tried to make from scratch. I started with my peanut butter granola bars. Once I realized how easy homemade granola bars were to make, I felt silly buying them pre-made bars. This new granola bar recipe is just as easy!
My granola bars are chewy. I bet if you liked them a little crispier, you can turn down the oven temp and cook them a little longer. I thought they were great just the way they were. These granola bars are also vegan and gluten free. Perfect to take to work or on the go.
