Sometimes we need a little something, other than sheer determination, to get us through the day and all we have going on. We try and get enough sleep, exercise, reduce our stress levels, and of course eat right.

SWEET AND SALTY GRANOLA ENERGY BARS

1/3 cup plus 2 teaspoons coconut oil
2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
3/4 cup turbinado sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup crunchy peanut butter
2 eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Heat oven to 350F.
Coat a 9 by 13 inch baking pan with 2 teaspoons of coconut oil. In a large bowl, combine oats, flour, sugar, cinnamon and salt.
In a medium bowl, combine honey, peanut butter and remaining 1/3 cup coconut oil. Whisk in eggs and vanilla. Stir egg mixture into oat mixture until combined. Spread the batter in the pan, press to compact.
Bake until golden brown, about 35 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes, before cutting into bars.
Enjoy!

I recently had friends over for brunch and made this wonderful granola for them to take home as a party favor. I have tried making granola many times before, but never with much success. However, this recipe was very easy to follow and turned out beautifully. The fabulous combination of flavors would make a delicious gift for friends or family, or just a great gift to yourself. I packaged mine in clear plastic gift bags, tied with raffia ribbon and with labels I found at the incredible local store Shindig Paperie  shindigpaperie.com/ – delightful!

SPICED PUMPKIN AND BROWN SUGAR GRANOLA

3/4 cup pumpkin puree
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1 teaspoon ground cardamom
1 teaspoon salt
3 cups old fashioned rolled oats
1 cup roughly chopped pecans
1 cup pistachios
1 cup golden raisins
1 cup dried cranberries

Heat oven to 325F.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, set aside.
Whisk together pumpkin, sugar, oil, vanilla, pumpkin pie spice, cardamom and salt. Add oats, pecans, pistachios and toss to coat. Spread evenly on prepared baking sheet and bake 30 minutes, stirring half way through. Stir in raisins and cranberries and continue baking until oats are just crisp, about 15 minutes more. Stir one last time, then set aside to cool completely. When hard, break into chunks and store in an airtight container.
Enjoy!
