    Blogging Marathon# 64: Week 3/ Day 1

    Theme: Wholewheat Dishes

    Dish: Puffed Wheat, Almond and Coconut Granola Bars

    Day 2 of 'Wholewheat dishes' and I'm using it in puffed wheat form today. My husband has been asking me to make granola bars at home for quite some time, so I tried these granola bar recipe from Cooking Light magazine.

    Recipe calls for goji berries which I have never used before. I bought some from the bulk section of Whole Foods -- they are quite expensive, but they are supposed have many health benefits. If you can't find them, then use any other fried fruit that you like.

    Original recipe was actually made from puffed barley, I couldn't find that anywhere but found puffed wheat cereal instead, which was perfect because it fits right into this week's theme 🙂 This cereal is very slightly sweetened and worked beautifully in this recipe. I'm assuming you can use any puffed grain here.

    These granola bars are very easy to put together -- just mix dry and wet ingredients, bake until set and serve. They are great to eat for breakfast on the go or as a quick afternoon snack. Even my picky 8 year old seemed to like them. They are nutty, chewy and slightly sweet. They keep well for about 3~4 days at room temperature.
