Granola bar is my go-to snack when I get hangry after working out. But to be honest, I haven't found any store-bought ones that I really take to. They are either too sticky, too soft, too chewy or too sweet. That's why I try to look for recipes to make them at home, and I found this original recipe from Melissa Griffiths that allows plenty of room for customization. And I am excited to share the recipe with you! This one is my take on the not-too-chewy not-too-sticky almond-cranberry-raisin-chocolate granola bars. WOW. Such a lengthy name! But it's totally worth it. I promise!

It's been a while since I last posted a recipe for my Healthy Eating Series. This Healthy Oat & Banana Muffin is the perfect recipe for a make-ahead breakfast or snacks for all ages. It's perfect for post-workout and or basically all-day snacks.

Facts: "The U.S. Food and Drug Administration claims that oats, as part of an overall heart healthy diet, could lower the risk of heart disease.
The possible health benefits of oats include: reducing the risk of coronary artery disease, lowering levels of cholesterol, and reducing one's risk of colorectal cancer."
