homemade granola bars
I may never buy packaged granola bars at a grocery store ever again. (Unless you count the plastic-wrapped ones priced by weight in the Whole Foods bakery section.) These do not taste like cardboard. Or pure sugar. And they don’t contain any freaky ingredients like soy protein isolate. The other best thing about homemade granola bars is that you can have exactly the types of mix-ins you like, in exactly the right proportion. I added dried cranberries, dried apples, sliced almonds, wheat germ, and flax seeds. They are so good that they’ve crossed over into “healthy dessert”/hungry daydream territory. Recipe and inspiration here (I’ve had this bookmarked for a long, long time).
