Ever since I first made these homemade granola bars, I've been making them more frequently than we used to buy them from a store. In fact, we no longer buy granola bars from a store, since it is so easy to make at home and homemade granola bars taste much better. It's also healthier.
The fun part about these homemade granola bars is that you get to choose the ingredients that you like. For example in this recipe, I used walnuts and raisin. I have also tried the cranberry and almond combination, which is very good. Min's favorite is chocolate and coconut flakes. The list of ingredients you can try is endless. So, what's your favorite combination of ingredients?
These granola bars also make sweet gifts. Just wrap each granola bar in a piece of baking paper or any waxed paper and twist the ends to make a candy wrap. I made a gift basket of granola bars and cookies and gave to Min for Valentine's Day this year. Yes, he was sweetly touched :D
