I wanted to find a way to add a spark to my
granola bars for the holidays. I was looking to add some red or green color and
decided on maraschino cherries!
2 cups oats
3/4 cup flax seed meal or ground flaxseed
1/2 cup almond flour
3/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1 cup diced maraschino cherries
½ cup diced slivered almonds
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla
3/4 cup honey
2 eggs
Instructions:
·
Preheat the oven to 350. Combine all dry
ingredients then add the wet, one at a time.
·
Spray a 9x12 glass baking pan with olive
or coconut oil spray.
·
Use the back of a spatula to flatten into
the pan (you may with to spray the spatula so the granola does not stick).
·
Bake 15-20 minutes - until edges are
golden.
·
Remove from oven. Let cool then cut into
bars of your choice – or use cookie cutters and make festive shapes for
children to enjoy!
