This Crunchy Granola Bar Recipe is super easy to make and is a tasty snack that can be taken on the go. Add it to your must bake list!

In the last few months I have been experimenting with all kinds of healthier recipes as we try to reduce the amount of processed foods that we eat.  These Crunchy Granola Bars are one of our family favorites so far.  They are super simple to make and you can swap out many of the ingredients for different flavour combinations.  Here’s the crunchy granola bar recipe…

Ingredients that you will need:

  • 5 1/2 cups oats
  • 1 cup chopped nuts
  • 3/4 cup honey
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 2 tsp cinnamon

This recipe makes a lot of granola bars!  I love that they last longer than a day or two and are perfect for school lunches.  I store them in an air tight container in the cupboard for up to two weeks.

How to make crunchy granola bars:

  1. Place honey and brown sugar in a small sauce pan and dissolve over medium heat until combined.
  2. Add vanilla and cinnamon.
  3. Pour this mixture over the remaining ingredients and mix well.
  4. Press the mixture onto a tinfoil lined baking sheet.
  5. Bake at 375 degrees until golden (about 30 minutes).

Tips for school lunch meal planning:

  • Prepare meals in advance whenever possible.  Portion them out into individual servings and store in the freezer for up to three months.
  • Create “one pot” family style meals for quick dinners then use the leftovers for lunch the next day.
  • Pack ingredients in 1 gallon size ziploc bags (aff link) for flexible storage in the freezer.
  • Plan meals that use similar ingredients to help make packing and planning easy.  My kids love these Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins and this Pizza Bun recipe.
