Granola Bars

When Z was a baby, almost everything she had to eat was homemade. Then I went back to work full time and while she still gets healthy snacks, they aren't always made with love by mom. I had a bit of a baking spree a couple weekends ago to fill our freezer with healthy, easy to grab snacks, including this granola bar.  

In a food processor combine: 

  • 1 cup dates
  • 1/2 cup dried apricot  
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter  
  • 2 TBSP honey  

Once blended well, stir in:

  • 1 TBSP ground flaxseed
  • 1 TBSP chia seeds
  • 1 TBSP hemp hearts  
  • 1 cup quinoa puffs

Mix well and press into parchment paper lined 9 x 12 pan. Place in fridge to set. Cut into squares to serve or freeze for a future snack. Enjoy!
