Here is a link to a thread http://www.rawfoodtalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=7300&highlight=grawnola+recipe with my grawnola recipe. To make granola bars, I have just added the dates to the mix and a little more apple and almond butter to make it a bit more "wet" and dehydrated in bar shapes for some tasty bars. Also here is a good recipe to just make and eat with out dehydrating.


Nut Bars

In a food processor blend these ingredients well:
1 cup cashews
1 cup almonds
1/2 cup pecans
1/2 cup sesame seeds
1 cup dates
2 tablespoons agave
1 teaspoon vanilla

It is easiest to first blend the nuts and seeds and then add and blend in the rest. Spread this mixture in a dish about 1/2" to 1" thick and let sit for a few hours. Then cut into bar shapes and put in snack size baggies. Store in the fridge.

Hi, do you dehydrate the bars or just refrigerate them? I have never made granola bars but I'm looking for a good recipe to try with some almond butter but have no idea what I'm doing. : ) All I know is I used to like SAD granola bars and so did my kiddos. I've dehydrated granola twice and made some sesame/flax crackers along with a few other things but still an am mature :) Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!

Most Bars are not dehydrated they are just molded and wrapped then stored in the Fridge or Freezer. The Recipe above is fine to use. You are adding these Nuts to your Almond Butter along with the Granola. They will take the Moisture out of the Almond Butter while it sits for a while and that is how your Bar is formed. So just form a Bar, wrap, Store.
