Cooking Cheap Snacks 101: Granola Bars
Tonight Stacy and I decided to make our own granola bars, and they turned out pretty darn good. I had been wanting to try making them for a while now, and finally got around to it. It’s a great snack to make because it’s relatively easy to make, pretty healthy, you can throw in whatever you want, and really cheap. We made a 9″ x 13″ tray of granola bars for around $5 in ingredients (not to mention they were mostly organic). And the best part, is they’re delicious. We’re talking:
- Rolled Oats
- Flour
- Brown Sugar
- Raisins
- Chocolate Chips
- Walnuts
- Almonds
- Honey
- Sunflower Seeds
- Vanilla
- Salt, canola oil, etc.
I mean, it sounds great, doesn’t it? And now I have snacks for the next couple weeks– cool. I can’t wait to make it again, there’s already a few other things I want to try (namely, peanut butter, mmmm).
Does anybody else have a tasty they like to make? Or perhaps the missing ingredient to my nearly-perfect granola bars? Let’s hear it in the comments.
