Oats and Honey granola bars are my son’s absolute favorite. It’s back to school time and time for packed school lunch and snacks right?
These bars are easy to make and takes little time to whip up. And totally tastes like Nature valley brand Oats and Honey granola bar you get in store.
I won’t deny the fact that I totally love these bars as well because they are so good and I looove oats in any form lol. I will be making a low carb and sugar free version soon over at chichiuguru.com so stay tuned.
Before I started making granola bars I thought it was a big task and that it was difficult to make. Naaah I was so wrong.. it’s so easy to make you will get hooked.
If you prefer loose granola rather than bars, try this blueberry almond granola.
How did I start making granola? My son and my second daughter are obsessed with nature valley honey and oats granola bars and I wasn’t about to spend all my earnings in granola bars. Going by my love for oats You all know I always have traditional oats at home. So I decided to start experimenting.

Can I use quick cooking oats to make these?
Hi Damilola,
To be honest, I haven’t used quick oats to make these and that’s probably because I hardly ever have quick oats since the traditional oats are more versatile for me. But I would gladly share my thoughts on this. Quick oats are slightly precooked oats if I am correct, therefore they may likely cook faster if used. But I don’t know if they would crisp up as well as these. My candid suggestion would be to get the good ol’ traditional Oats and save the quick oats for your oatmeal porridge ?
Hope that helps. Thanks for saying hello ?
