Granola Bars - GAPS Legal / Paleo Legal

Ingredients:

2T Butter - or coconut oil

1/2 C raw honey

pinch of salt

1C peanuts ( whole or lightly chopped)

1/2 C walnuts (lightly chopped)

1/2 C pepitas (raw pumpkin seeds)

1/2 C almonds (sliced or chopped)

1/4 C flax seeds (milled)

1/2 C sun flour seeds

1 C dried fruit (chopped dates, apricots, or raisins)

Melt the butter with the honey and salt.  Mix in the nuts, seeds, and fruit.  Spread parchment paper onto a cookie sheet or in a 9x13 dish.  Bake 30 min. at 300 deg. 

Cook them then cut into bars.  Hint: if you keep them in the freezer they will maintain their shape, but cut them first.  If you like a more crunchy bar, then bake at a slightly higher temp.  Watch closely because honey tends to burn quickly.  One time I left them in for too long and they looked totally burned.  After taking them out the burned looking parts didn't really taste burned and it ended up holding together very nicely.
