Healthy Homemade Granola Bars

My kids only wanted to buy the packaged granola bars that tasted good but had no nutritional value. I discovered this recipe on Pinterest and my kids love them. I have recommended it to many of my friends and their families love them too. Quick and easy, I omitted the coconut and almost always double the recipe.

Happy Eating!
