ost store-bought granola bars are highly processed and contain undesirable ingredients. Making granola bars at home is easy and you can feel good about giving them to your children as snacks. If you are serving these to young children, pick out the Brazil nuts and hazelnuts and crush them so they will not present a choking hazard.

• -Cooking spray
• 3 1/4 cups Dorset simply delicious muesli 30% fruit
• 3/4 cup Westsoy organic unsweetened vanilla soy milk
• 1 egg white, beaten
• 2 tablespoons Wholesome Sweeteners organic raw blue agave nectar
