Homemade Granola Bars

1 Mashed banana

1/2 c. dried fruit (I used cranberries)

1/2 c. coconut flakes

1.5 c. oats

4 tbs. Honey

Mash or blend all ingredients except oats, once blended mix in oats by hand or with spoon.

Grease a baking dish (I used coconut oil in a loaf pan)

Make sure to pack the granola into the dish as tightly as you can 

Bake in the oven for 20 mins at 180 degrees.

Remove from oven.

Allow to cool.

Cut.

I froze mine after this final step but it isn't necessary.

Store them in an airtight container and ENJOY!

BONUS SNACK

1 banana
1tsp. coconut flakes
Drizzle of honey

As with every recipe from me, this is more like a skeleton.  Cooking in my opinion shouldn't be structured or restricted, you should be creative and make it your own.  If you love a certain ingredient more than others, toss some extra in.  If it comes out funky then it's a learning experience and you'll know better for next time.  This is how I learned how to cook.  My mom taught me the VERY basics and now I'm the one giving her lessons :) The more passionate you are about what you're doing the better it will taste.
