I will never buy store-bought granola bars again! Not that I really ever did anyway. They are usually heavily processed. These granola bars taste wholesome and best of all they are real, and incredibly easy to make. All you’ll need is a big bowl, a wooden spoon and a baking dish. There should be no excuse to buy those boxed granola bars again.
