Healthy Homemade Granola Bars

I am always on the look out for easy, wholesome granola bars. They are a staple in my pantry, and between my kids and hubby, I can't seem to keep enough of them in the house.
So, I figured it was time to try and make some from scratch. 
I have been trying to cut out processed foods for a while now, and love making our own granola, and granola bars  for my kids. These are a great quick breakfast, or healthy snack for school or office.
Best of all, when you make them yourself, you know exactly what goes in them and you can customize them to suit your tastes.

These granola bars are easy to make and deliciously chewy and crispy. 

Little tip: If you store them in the freezer or fridge, they stay crispier then stored at room temperature 😉
