Notes
You can use the nuts you have available at home instead of what is mentioned in the recipe.
If you wish you can only use one type of oats in this recipe, but keep in mind that using only quick oats the granola bars will turn out very chewy and soft.
You can either use roasted nuts or raw nuts since they will get roasted in the oven.
Granola bars can be thick or thin, it all depends on how crunchy or chewy you like them.
For thinner granola bars use larger baking pan or sheet.
The baking time will be less than 25 minutes so keep an eye on it.
