Why buy expensive granola bars at the store when you can easily make them at home? Making your own granola bars saves money and allows you to cut down on unnecessary sugar and oils, plus it gives you the benefits of loads of healthy seeds and grains. While the amounts of oats, crisped rice and wet ingredients called for here are essential to the soft and chewy texture of the bars, feel free to switch up the nuts and seeds to your preference or depending on what’s available. Any type of dates will do here, but we like Medjool. If you’re gluten-sensitive, make sure to use gluten-free oats.
