No Bake Granola Bars

Ok. Seriously cool. Not only is this similar to the granola bars I’ve fallen in love with at the Reh-Fit Centre, they’re also a more reasonable size, and I found a nifty “Nutritional Information Calculator” do-dad on the internet!  (http://caloriecount.about.com/cc/recipe_analysis.php) These took a couple of tries to get them to as tasty as desired, and might take a few more to establish how many the recipe should actually make. This time ‘round, they were sliced into 12.

The original recipe found on the internet can be found here: http://www.pbfingers.com/2014/02/04/no-bake-and-easily-customizable-granola-bars/  The author of this recipe makes suggestions to customizing the bars – and so I added and took away and such until I came up with this:

No Bake Granola Bars

Ingredients:
¾ cup peanut butter (chunky, all natural)
1/3 cup honey
1 ½ cups rolled oats
¼ cup shredded coconut
½ cup sunflower seeds, toasted, unsalted
1 tbsp millet
1 tbsp toasted buckwheat
1 tbsp chia seeds
2 tbsp sesame seeds
½ cup dried fruit
4 shakes of salt (no idea how to measure that)

Directions:

Mix together all ingredients except peanut butter and honey.
Microwave peanut butter and honey until warm. Stir together.
Add peanut butter mixture to oatmeal mixture.
Pres into a pan lined with saran wrap.
Freeze for 45 minutes.
Cut into bars; enjoy. (Nutritional information is provided below for both 9 bars or 12 bars. However many you decide to cut them into.)

(Store remaining bars in refrigerator. Wrap individually in saran for easy portability.)

Enjoy! 

(And I couldn't figure out how to get these to go side-by-side. Sorry pals.)
