Chef's Notes
- Try your favorite combination of nuts, seeds, or spices in this granola to make it your own and never eat granola bars that aren't fresh or filled with good ingredients again!
- For a thicker, chewier granola bar, this recipe may be doubled and then baked in a 9x13" (23x33 cm) pan.
- Honey and maple play to parts in these bars sweetener and help hold the granola, you can easily swap these out with a homemade date syrup.
