No Sugar Added Granola Bars

I spend way to much money on granola bars. I love trying new flavors; chocolate chip, peanut butter, oat, pumpkin, trail mix...and I pretty much love them all. 

Problem with granola bars is that you really need to be careful which ones you buy because the sugar content in some brands can be crazy stup!d (also, when you buy them and eat them as much as I do, it really adds up fast; 6 bars a box just doesn't cut it for this granola junkie.)

So, I came up with this really quick and really easy recipe for...drumroll please...

No Sugar Added Granola Bars!

This recipe is super healthy (and SO cheap to make considering how many batches you can make), and has the perfect amount of sweetness which comes naturally from the dried fruit.

What You'll Need:

2 Cups of rolled oats

2 Ripe bananas

1/2 Cup of unsweetened apple sauce

1/3 Cup Craisins or Raisins (I used a mix of both)

6-7 Chopped dried prunes

1/3 Cup Crushed mixed nuts

1tsp Cinnamon

1tsp Nutmug

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a large bowl mix ripened bananas until smooth. Add the oats, cinnamon, and nutmug, and mix all together until oats absorb the banana. Add the apple sauce, all the dried fruit and mixed nuts. Mix together until well blended. 

Line a 2-3 inch deep glass baking dish with parchment paper and spread the oat mixture evenly across it.

Bake for 20-25 minutes...check to make sure it doesn't get dry though!

Let cool and chop into pieces and store in the fridge or freezer to enjoy as healthy snacks for breakfast, before lunch, and after dinner!

Enjoy You SkinnyMinis!
