Hi I'm looking for a recipe for a healthy fruit and nut bar that is chewy and grain free- so no oats or rice please.
Also no coconut please- I hate coconut.
Thanks!
Very Happy

Grain-Free Gluten-Free Dairy-Free Granola Bar Recipe

You will need:

2.5 cups assorted nuts and seeds
1 cup dried fruit
2 cups shredded coconut(optional)
1/4 cup coconut oil
1/2 cup honey
splash of vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
generous sprinkle of cinnamon
some more cinnamon
Roughly chop 1 cup of the nuts and seeds. Place in a bowl.

Use your food processor to pulse the other 1.5 cups of nuts and seeds into a finer �chop.� Add to the bowl.

Add your fruit.

Stir in the dried coconut(optional)

In a saucepan over medium-low heat, combine oil, honey, vanilla, salt, and cinnamon. Cook until the mixture bubbles, then pour over the fruit/nut mixture.

Stir to combine completely.

Press your mixture into a parchment-lined pan of some sort. Press HARD.

Cool 2-3 hours, then remove from the pan and cut into bars.

bon appetit!
