Tips:

  • Use a variety of oats. This will give your granola bars a more complex flavor and texture. You can use rolled oats, quick oats, or even steel-cut oats.
  • Add your favorite nuts and seeds. This will add crunch and flavor to your granola bars. Some popular choices include almonds, walnuts, pecans, chia seeds, and flax seeds.
  • Use a natural sweetener. Honey, maple syrup, and agave nectar are all good choices. Avoid using refined sugar, as it will make your granola bars too sweet.
  • Don't overbake your granola bars. They should be golden brown, but not too dark. If you overbake them, they will be dry and crumbly.
  • Let your granola bars cool completely before cutting them. This will help them hold their shape.

Conclusion:

Homemade sweet n' salty granola bars are a delicious and healthy snack that are perfect for on-the-go. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a little creativity, you can create a granola bar that is both satisfying and nutritious.
