So, I used to be going to do one other Mini Meal Prep Session yesterday. I solely had an hour, however I had deliberate to make selfmade granola bars, marinated rooster, and mac & cheese with browned floor beef.
Since we beloved the Selfmade Granola Bars I made just lately, I obtained the components so I might lastly strive my sister’s granola bar recipe that has been on the weblog for years and so a lot of you have got instructed me you’ve beloved a lot.
There have been a variety of various things taking place at our home after I was making an attempt to prepare dinner and after I boiled the liquid components on the range, I by accident allow them to boil for too lengthy — which meant that it was too thick and dry to moisten the dry components and make them into granola bars.
No downside, I believed, I’ll simply whip up some extra liquid components into syrup. Nevertheless it nonetheless wasn’t working and the clock was ticking and we wanted to be out the door for dinner with our Neighborhood Group.
So I simply determined to press them into the pans and see if they’d occur to harden up sufficient whereas we have been gone. Nope… they wouldn’t maintain collectively nearly in any respect, so I scrapped plan A and went to plan B: turning the granola bar combination into granola!
I dumped it onto to 2 pans, unfold it out, and baked it at 375 levels for round 25 minutes. And would you realize it? It labored and the tip outcome was a scrumptious granola that Jesse was excited to make use of to high his yogurt and fruit with!
The humorous that is that I had simply been pondering I needed to make selfmade granola quickly, because it’s been awhile since I’ve made it. Properly, now I’ve made it!
However I nonetheless can’t formally say I’ve tried my sister’s granola bar recipe. 🙂 Hoping to truly make that occur quickly!
