Do you love granola bars? I sure do. My favorite is honey nut granola bars as it is just so satisfying, tasty and filling. This particular granola bar has coconut, dark chocolate, pecans and oats covered in a generous serving of honey. In fact, it’s my favorite thing to eat throughout the week. I suggest you go to the store so you can pick up ingredients as you will be making these constantly.

When it comes to pecans, honey seems to be made for them. I love to find ways to use them in baking as they are just the perfect balance of sweet and savory. Granola is where this combination can shine. Also, the ease of the recipe allows you to experiment with all kinds of flavor combinations. For instance, if you like spicy, try out these sriracha granola bars.

They sound as if they should be heavy in calories, but they are actually very light, less than 150 calories per serving. Filled with healthy fats, protein and carbohydrates this is a wonderful snack to reach for instead of that junky candy bar you were thinking about having. Trust me, these are so delicious you feel like you are eating something better than candy.

Best part? They are quick to put together, you don’t need to break out any mixers or special equipment and they can be cooling on your table within 30 minutes start to finish. What’s not to love?

Honey Nut Granola Bars are seriously super easy to make. They are the something I eat often throughout the week for a quick boost of energy and long term sustainability. You have to watch this video to see how truly easy and quick they are to make.

Pecans, coconut flakes and just a bit of chocolate covered in honey and sprinkled with sea salt. These are my personal favorite granola bars to make and devour.
