Healthy 5-Ingredient Granola Bars

1 Cup Almonds

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Place almonds on parchment sheet and bake for 10 minutes. You may roughly chop the almonds, if you want, if not, just leave it like that.

1 and 1/2 Cups Oats

Place oats on parchment paper and bake for 15 minutes in 350 degrees F oven.

1/4 Cup Honey
1/4 Cup Creamy Fresh Almond or Peanut Butter (I used Almond Butter this time)

Warm honey and nut butter in a small saucepan over low heat for 2 minutes.

1 Cup Dates (About 11 Dates)

Process dates in food processor until small bits remain (about 1 minutes). It should form a dough like consistency.

Mix roasted almonds, roasted oats and dates in a bowl.

Stir warmed honey, nut butter mixture into the almond, oats, dates bowl and mix, breaking up the dates to disperse throughout.

Once thoroughly mixed, transfer into an 8 x 8 pan lined with parchment paper, so they lift out easily.

Press down until uniformly flattened. Cover with parchment paper or lid and let it sit in the freezer for 20 minutes to harden.

Remove from the freezer and chop into 10 even bars. Store in an airtight container for up to few days
