Recipe Introduction

I made mine on a cookie sheet, spread out thin, to make more crunchy. I, also added 1/2 cup coconut and 1/3 cup sf chocolate. Bake 20 minutes, cut into squares, and baked another 10 minutes. Or, just bake for 30 minutes, without cutting into squares. Then drizzle some sf chocolate over all.

List of Ingredients

Crunchy Granola Bars

1/2 cup of flaxseeds (or use all flaxseed meal)
1/2 cup of flaxseed meal
3/4 cup of oatmeal..use the steel-cut if you can
1 1/2 cups of almond flour (can replace 1/2 cup with protein powder)
1 tsp. baking powder
2 Tbs. cinnamon
1/2 cup of Splenda (to taste)
1/4 cup of Poly-D (optional)
1/2 tsp. of salt
1/4 cup of chopped almonds or pecans, etc..
1 tiny box of raisins (optional)
1/2 stick of butter, softened
CC milk or cream (1/4 cup or so)



Recipe

Preheat oven to 350

Mix all the dry ingredients together in a bowl. Then cream in the butter until
evenly dispersed..Now, pour in the milk slowly..until it is about the consistency of a slightly wet cookie dough..(not really stiff).

Grease a 9 x 9 pan and pat the dough in the pan..Bake 30 minutes until
slightly brown on the top/edges..

If you like to have these crunchier, then cut up the bars and place them
on a cookie sheet at 300 degrees for 30 minutes until they are crunchy on
the outside..Then remove and cool..

My dh went crazy for them.. They would be a healthy alternative for
kids, too..

Makes about 12..
