Mysty PfefferI’m not a big fan of white chocolate, but many of my friends are!
So, here is a healthier version of White Chocolate Granola Bars. Let’s face it, we are not going to deny ourselves a small pleasure after a hard day of work or an exhausting day with little ones. However, we can make that gratifying choice a better one. One consists of good fiber, protein, omega rich walnuts and infection quelling cinnamon.
Take heart in your hard work, God is setting an example for your little ones through you! It is your care, your love, your daily sacrifice that shows them God’s love. The bible says, “From one man He has made every nationality to live over the whole earth and has determined their appointed times and the boundaries of where they live. He did this so they might seek God, and perhaps they might reach out and find Him, though He is not far from each of us.” (Acts 17:26-27 HCSB)
Whether you’re influencing your own little ones, or someone else’s we can be the light they may need to reach out and find Him. So, power up, and keep your physical strength for this task, too! I hope you enjoy these bars. They contain those rich beta glucan coated oats I love to use. As well as those pressed olives, in the most famous garden of my favorite book!
These are super easy and not too sweet.
3 Cups organic oats
1/4 Cup honey or maple syrup
1/4 tsp salt
1 Tsp cinnamon
1/4 Cup organic unbleached flour (or any gluten free flour of your choice)
3/4 Cup cranberries
3/4 Cup chopped walnuts
1/2 Cup Mini white chocolate chips
Combine in a large mixing bowl all of the above dry ingredients.
Next Add
2 Eggs
1/2 Cup Organic Olive Oil
1/3 Cup honey or maple syrup
Add the eggs until all of the dry are coated well. Then add the olive oil, coat ingredients well. Lastly, add the maple syrup or honey, also coating well.
Stir well and add to dry ingredients. Once combined add 1/4 cup raw honey until all the oats are wet and sticky. 😉 Place onto baking sheet and roll out until flat and even.
Bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 15-18 minutes–they should be golden brown.
Enjoy!
