Home Made Granola Bars

I have been thinking of making granola bars since a long time. One fine friday afternoon: Hubby whatsapps me from office saying that he is planning a long cycle ride on saturday early morning. So now he wants, sandwiches, nuts, dates, electral powder etc. I immediately rush to the kitchen to knead dough for the bread. This time he wants granola bars too. To socha chalo theek hai… this is the perfect time to try it at home. So here is my modest attempt at making it. Though not very perfect, I know it’s healthy and will give him the much needed instant energy. Check out my other healthy bars: Barley Oats Banana Bars and Oats Bars with Choco Peanut Butter
