Homemade Granola Bars

Ingredients
  

  • 2 1/4 cups oats
  • 1 cup pecans
  • 1 cup shredded coconut
  • 1/2 coconut palm sugar
  • 2/3 cup honey
  • 2 Tablespoons butter
  • 2 Teaspoons vanilla
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 6 to 8 ounces of dried fruit chocolate chips, seeds, or whatever your heart desires!

Instructions
 

  • Toast the oats, nuts, and coconut in a 400 degree oven for about 10 minutes, stirring frequently.
  • Melt the sugar, honey, butter, vanilla, and salt. I use a candy thermometer to let me know when I reach the soft ball stage because I like these chewy. Let it go longer if you like them crunchy!
  • Mix the honey mixture with the toasted ingredients in a large bowl. Be careful, this will be HOT!
  • Add in the remaining ingredients (dried fruit, chocolate, seeds, etc)
  • Press the hot mixture into a (greased or parchment lined) 9x13 dish.
  • Cool and cut while slightly warm.
