Sol's Granola Bars

Share
Join one of our BC trips and you'll likely be scrambling to cram as many of these tasty treats into your Camelbak as you can (not to mention your mouth!). Lovingly prepared by chef Kali, these bars are tasty, packed full of energy, and a perfect snack when you're halfway up a grueling climb!

n.b. we use organic, locally-sourced food as much as possible on our tours (our 2008 goal is 50% locally-sourced food!)

Sol's Granola Bars

Mix 3 cups oats, 1/2 cup coconut, 1/2 cup nuts or sunflower seeds, 1/2 cup wheat germ or bran, 1/2 cup raisins or craisins, 2 tbsp. sesame seeds and 1/2 cup chocolate chips in a large bowl. In separate bowl mix 1 cup brown sugar, 1 cup peanut butter, 3/4 corn syrup, 1/2 cup melted butter and 2 tsp. vanilla. Combine all ingredients and mix well. Pat into greased 9x13 inch pan and bake at 350 degree's farenheight for 20 to 25 minuts. The key is not to over bake or the cake becomes dry, Mix up the dry nuts, seeds and fruit but keep the mesurements the same. Cool, cut, pack and enjoy!
