These bars are a copycat version of Whole Foods granola bars, but way cheaper and you can substitute your favorite granola bar ingredients! This recipe makes 35 square bars, so feel free to cut the recipe in half if you dont need that many! If you need a little bit more sweetness for your granola bars, you can chop up some chocolate and mix it in!
