Homemade granola bars are my favorite because you can choose your ingredients. I find some of the store bought ones to be way too sweet for our taste buds, making us wonder whether they are all that healthy after all. So I like making my own to have a choice in how much of each ingredient I wish to use.
This is our current family favorite.
