I love a batch of good granola–and it is easier to make at home than you might think.  This recipe is for homemade bars filled with tasty and good-for-you ingredients.  Oats, puffed wheat cereal, pecans, dried fruit and sweet butterscotch chips mixed together with sunflower butter, a touch of salt, and olive oil. The results are bars that would be perfect in your kid’s lunch box, or with a cup of coffee for an adult morning time treat.
