Grain-Free Granola Bars

Ingredients:

2.5 C. mixed nuts
2 C. shredded coconut
1 C. dried cranberries
1/2 C. honey
1/4 C. coconut oil
splash of vanilla extract
1/2 tsp. salt
generous sprinkle of cinnamon

Directions:

Take out 1 C. mixed nuts and give them a rough chop. Put the remaining 1.5 C. in a food processor or blender and chop smaller. You want a variety of sizes for the nuts. Then mix them in a bowl with the bigger sized nuts. Add in coconut and cranberries, mix up.

In a small saucepan, combine the honey, coconut oil, vanilla, salt and cinnamon over medium-low it. Constantly stir until it bubbles up like this picture.

Mix the liquid in with the nut mix. Make sure you
mix it in well. Then dump the mix onto a bar pan lined with parchment paper or wax paper. Use another piece of the parchment paper or wax paper to push down on the mix, so you pack the ingredients tightly.


Refrigerate for 3hrs. Then pull out the bars using the paper and cut them into rectangles. Use saran wrap to wrap them up individually. They are best kept in the fridge.
