naturally sweet with martha stewart: chocolate hazelnut granola bars

nutella granola bars

Healthy granola bars can be a great snack and source of pick-me-up energy. But it’s tough to find store-bought granola bars without added sugar, preservatives, and more unnatural stuff. I looked up the ingredients for an  “oats-and-honey” granola bar that was my favorite during childhood. The first three ingredients are: whole-grain oats, sugar, and canola oil (and the list continues…).  So I made my own version. These homemade bars are complete with omega-3s, protein, fiber, and … chocolate! The best thing is that when they cool they achieve the perfect crunchy texture.

    Hi! Just checked out your recipe. What kind of oil do you suggest? Also, since it doesn’t say in the directions, when do you add the oil?

    Thanks for catching that slip with the oil. I like grapeseed oil or extra virgin olive oil best for this. Walnut or pumpkin oil also would work just great. Add the oil when you are adding the honey and the chocolate spread. I hope they turn out well. Enjoy. xo
