Adventures in Cooking! :D

Hello!

So its been a few days since I last posted something neat, and decided tonight was the night! I was feeling creative today and decided to make my own granola bars. I searched for a recipe that I liked, and didn't find one so I  improvised! Right now they are sitting in my freezer, and the nutella is setting up. I have a picture of them, it's not the best picture because my food photography is rusty! When I made them I cut them into 28 pieces, which equals 121 calories per square. 

 

Now recipe time!
1/2 cup melted butter
1 cup agave ( or honey*)
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp vanilla
3 cups dry oats
2 servings of mini honey teddy grahams (94 bears)
1 serving of chocolate frosted mini wheats (42 pieces)
3/4 cup nutella
* Honey will add more calories, as will regular flour.
Now the directions!
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
Grind/ blend/ crush the teddy grahams and mini wheat's. Mix the crushed grahams with the oats.  Next add the dry ingredients, then add the wet ingredients and mix until well combined!
Place mixture into sprayed or parchment lined 9x13 pan. Squish down until the mixture until the pan is full. Cook in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes.
Melt the nutella in the microwave for 30-50 seconds, around the time the bars come out of the oven. Pour the nutella on the bars right when they come out of the oven,  then stick them fridge to set. After they are cool, cut into squares/ bars and ENJOY!
One a side note I'm going to store mine in the fridge so that the chocolate doesn't melt in the Vegas heat! I hope that if you try them they come out just as tasty as my batch did!
Loves!
