I made granola bars yesterday for the first time.
I found a recipe while I was at my sisters and it seemed simple.
I also buy a lot of granola bars for the boys lunches and I just felt like they should be easy to make and that I could save myself a lot of money.
So, I did it. I used pecans, almonds, walnuts, pumpkin seeds and chopped them in the cuisinart...if my boys saw whole nuts they would most likely not eat them. I added sesame seeds, 5 grain cereal and oatmeal. I then mixed this with melted butter, honey, brown sugar, and almond extract. (They were sweet alright) It was simple. They look exactly like a granola bar, except way more delicious. They were simply divine. We all LOVED them.
When Kuba went to bed at night he asked me:
"When I wake up after sleeping can I have one of those granola bars you made? Can we send them all over the world and package them and call them 1% bars?" I don't know how he came up with the name, but I know what he meant by this statement. I think he liked them.
