This recipe is for almond butter and chocolate chip granola bars. Making something like homemade granola bars never even occurred to me until recently.Where do you start? I mean, that is something you buy at the store and have handy for a quick breakfast or snack. Granola bars can be very healthy - in theory - but have you ever thought about how many unhealthy ingredients are in them to preserve them?These granola bars are packed with protein and taste like a cookie. Both rolled oats and rice cereal are used to add a little variety in texture. One recipe makes about 16 tall granola bars if packed into a 9x9 pan. For thinner granola bars, use a larger pan, like a 9x13.Another cool thing I like about this recipe is that you just make them in a big pan and cut them after you cook them. Duh! Granola bars sounded so hard until I realized that I didn't have to individually form each granola bar.Here are some tips and tricks for this recipe:I haven't tried these with quinoa puffs, but I'm sure they would work great, since they pretty much have the same texture as crisp rice cereal, but are just way healthier.You could make them healthier by leaving out the chocolate chips and not drizzling them with chocolateYou could make them fun and colorful by putting mini M & M's in themI hope that everyone will enjoy this recipe, even those who do not need to eat gluten-free.\u00a0 They are healthier for you than the bars in the store and taste even better (if I do say so myself). What would you change about the recipe if you would change anything?
