Chewy Granola Bars

I found this recipe on Pinterest (of course)  These are so good, make a double batch because they are going to go fast!  I eat them as a little treat after dinner too. 


Chewy Granola Bars

1/2 Cup of Almond Butter  You can use any kind of nut butter, but I like almond in this the best. 

1/3 Cup of Honey

1/4 Cup Coconut oil

1 Cup of Old Fashioned Oats

1 Cup total of any combination of:
coconut flakes, raisins, chocolate chips (chopped or mini), chopped almonds, nuts, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, dried fruit

Directions:

In a medium sized saucepan, melt together the almond butter, honey and coconut oil

Remove from heat and add in one cup of oats, and your "combination of goodies" that equal one cup. 

Stir well, and spread mixture into a 8x8 or 9x4 pan.  Line your pan with parchment paper to make it easier to remove the bars. 

Chill them for about 2 hours in the fridge, then cut into bars.  Wrap them individually in parchment or plastic wrap, for a quick accessible snack. 

I store mine in the fridge, because they tend to get soft really easy and fast at room temperature.
