Granola bars are very popular these days because they are healthy, delicious, and affordable. They're even better if you make them fresh with your own carefully chosen ingredients!

A few more tips

You can add any dried fruits you like (apricots, raisins, strawberries, etc.) as well as nuts (hazelnuts, walnuts, etc.). When you take it out of the oven, the mixture will be soft, but it will harden as it cools. It keeps well at room temperature for several days. Thanks to ANGOLINA for the step-by-step photos.
