Make Your Own Granola Bars

If you like granola bars, you’ll be happy to know that you can make your own without much effort. This recipe uses basic ingredients that stir together easily and only takes about 15 minutes to bake. You can play around with this recipe too and add other flavored chips or additions like raisins or dried cranberries. I like to eat these bars, along with some fruit, for a quick breakfast. They’re much more filling than cold cereal and taste better too!
