Homemade Granola Bars
Homemade Granola Bars are super simple to make. The best part about making them at home is that YOU choose the ingredients. Complete control over the quality of ingredients means these Nut Free Granola Bars are the perfect back to school snack!
Using Sun Butter instead of peanut or almond butter makes these safe for lunchbox snacking. Always check labels on all ingredients to insure that they are produced and packaged in a nut free facility.
The real star of these granola bars are the sweet California Golden Raisins. California Raisins are an all-natural, dried-by-the-sun fruit you can feel good about sending with your kids as they head back to school or offering as an after-school snack.
I love raisins in my oatmeal, cereal, cookies or just to snack on. My daughter really enjoyed these Cinnamon Raisin Granola Bars.
Confession: I ate most of the granola bars!
I’m bad about skipping meals. These were a great grab-n-go snack! Good for kids and adults.
California Raisins are a great choice for wholesome, healthy, on-the-go snacking. Convenient, portable and budget friendly.

These were a hit with the kids on our recent 4th grade camping trip. I appreciated finding a recipe that was GF, nut-free, soy-free, egg-free, dairy-free, chocolate-free…..we were so free! 😉 I uses coconut sugar and the bars came out great.
I’m so happy to hear that! Good idea with the coconut sugar.
