This is a yummy granola bar full of healthy ingredients that you can keep in the fridge or freezer and grab one to go! It’s a great snack to take to school, too. These granola bars disappear quickly at our house. I hope you like them too!

Ingredients
- 3 ½ cups rolled oats
- ½ cup raisins
- ½ cup cranberries
- ½ cup toasted sesame seeds
- ¼ cup ground flax seeds
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 ½ cups Valencia Peanut Butter
- 1 cup honey
- ¼ cup melted butter (or non-dairy alternative, such as Earth Balance)
- (Optional) Nuts, such as cashews
- (Optional) Chocolate chunks
Instructions
- Combine Dry Ingredients: Combine oats, raisins, cranberries, sesame seeds, flax seeds, cinnamon, salt and chia seeds in a large bowl.
- Make Glue: In a small saucepan, melt the butter, honey, and peanut butter and mix to combine.
- Combine: Pour the peanut butter goo into the large bowl and mix well so that all of the oats, fruit, and seeds are coated with the goo.
- Prep Baking Pan: In a greased 9×13 baking pan, lay parchment paper inside, allowing edges to come up over the edges of the pan on two sides.
- Pour: Pour the mixture into the pan, and press down with additional parchment paper so it is compressed. If desired, sprinkle some chocolate chunks on top.
- Bake, Refrigerate, Cut: Bake in the preheated oven at 350F degrees for 15 minutes. Refrigerate until hard, about 30 minutes (Put in freezer if you are low on time.) Cut into bars.

Hi Tracy, we used a part of a Theo Chocolate bar. Theo makes organic chocolate bars from the cacao pod, and we took a really fun tour of their factory in Seattle. They have so many flavors! Check them out: https://www.theochocolate.com
