Cherry Coconut Granola Bars
Homemade gluten free, high fiber, no bake bars that are an amazing on-the-go snack, or a granola crumble to add to yogurt, cereal or oatmeal! Dried bing cherries offer a tart flavor that doesn’t need much added sweetness, making this a great alternative to most of the high-sugar granola bars out there. The oat base paired with chia seeds offers a ton of fiber, complex carbs, and healthy fats to keep you full and satisfied until your next meal without any blood sugar spikes and crashes, preventing you from getting hungry again quickly.

1 Tbsp coconut oil
1 tsp maple syrup
5 Tbsp water
Directions
