Farmhouse Homemade Granola Bars

Our whole family loves granola bars.  A sweet family member Julie shared this homemade granola bar recipe with me because it makes a great breakfast on the go and it is a great snack for kids and everyone in the family.  This homemade granola bar is packed full of fiber and whole grains.  We love that it makes a big batch that lasts for a couple weeks in the refrigerator.

Healthy Homemade Granola bars with Chocolate

These are the healthiest granola bars we’ve ever had with chocolate!  We love adding extra mini chocolate chips which we know takes away from the healthiness of the recipe, but they’re so delicious!  It does take a little bit of extra effort to round up some of the ingredients that we didn’t have on hand, but we make this recipe at least once a month.  Here are links to some of the less common items on Amazon: chia seeds, hemp seeds, sesame seeds, brown rice syrup.

Our family really enjoys having these homemade granola bars or some Easy Banana Nut Muffins fresh on our farmhouse table!  We hope you enjoy these wholesome snacks as much as we do!
