After Purim, many of us start thinking about Pesach. I'm not the "Spring Cleaning" type, but I have started going through my pantry and refrigerator. I actually enjoy the challenge of using up leftovers. I just tried this recipe, using some of my own leftovers. I'm not a big granola bar fan, but these are yummy. Soft, not too sweet and certainly healthier than most anything you can buy. And ...they don't even need to be baked. Just mix, refrigerate and cut them up!
There's plenty of room for variations: Use any chopped dried fruit instead of raisins; or peanut butter chips instead of chocolate chips; Double or halve the recipe.
No-Bake Granola Bars
1 cup granola (homemade or store bought)
½ cup raw oatmeal (regular or quick-cooking)
½ cup chocolate chips or raisins
¼ cup finely chopped walnuts or almonds
¼ cup honey or date syrup (silan)
1 cup natural peanut butter (smooth or chunky)
Mix granola, oatmeal chocolate chips and walnuts in a bowl. Stir in the honey and peanut butter. Mix well. Spray an 8-inch (20-cm) square baking pan with non-stick spray. Spread the mixture evenly in the pan and refrigerate for an hour or so.
Turn the pan upside down on a cutting board and cut into bars or squares. Wrap each bar in plastic wrap and refrigerate until you're ready for a little snack.
