    Granola

    Granola bars have long
    been 
    a trusted “go to” snack for campers,
    so naturally
    , a special day has
    been 
    designated to recognize these healthy treats.
    Here are five tasty ways 
    you can celebrate National Granola Bar Day on
    January 21:
     

    Apple Pie Granola
    Bars
     

     

    From Dailyburn.com 

    Makes 20 

     

    2
    cups rolled oats
     

    ½
    cup shredded, unsweetened coconut
     

    ½ cup pecans,
    chopped
     

    1/3 cup dates 

    ¼
    cup coconut oil
     

    1
    teaspoon vanilla
     

    1/3 cup honey 

    1
    tablespoon cinnamon
     

    ½
    teaspoon nutmeg
     

    1
    cup dried apples, chopped
     

     

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place the oats
    in a blender or food processor and pulse for 5 to 10 seconds. Combine the
    oats, shredded coconut and pecans, spread the mixture on a backing sheet and
    toast in the oven for approximately 10 minutes, stirring after 5 minutes to
    ensure the mixture does not burn. Once golden in color, remove from the
    oven.
     

     

    Place the dates in a food processor and blend
    until they form a paste-like consistency. In a sauce pan over medium heat,
    combine the coconut oil, honey and vanilla. As the liquid heats up, begin to
    stir the date paste in until it becomes well-combined with the mixture. In a
    bowl, combine the toasted oat mixture, chopped apples, cinnamon, nutmeg and
    hot liquid from the stove. Stir until completely mixed. Firmly press the
    mixture into a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Cover with plastic
    wrap and refrigerate for at least two hours or until bars become firm. Remove
    from the refrigerator and cut into 20 bars
    . Store in an airtight
    container at room temperature for more 
    crumbly bars, or in the refrigerator for
    firmer bars.
