Imagine this: you woke up pretty late and you're rushing to get ready.When you're about to open the door and leave you remember that you haven't eat any breakfast,so you need something quick to eat. Well the answer is obvious- a granola bar! Granola bars are one of the best snacks to take to school, work or enjoy after a workout. And the ones sold at the supermarket can be full of sugar and fat, so they're not really trust-worthy if you ask me. 

So, don't worry, I got your back! You can make these easy and delicious homemade bars that are actually super healthy and nutritious!

• 2 cups of oats 
• 1 cup of dates
• half a bar of dark chocolate
• a handful dried fruits
• 1 tsp molasses (or other sweetener of your choice)
• a handful of your desired nuts ( I chose walnuts)

1. Take the pit out of the dates and additionally, soak them in order to make them softer. 
2. Lay the oats on a baking sheet and put it in the oven for about 10 minutes in medium heat, this will make them more crunchy.
3. Put the dates in a food processor until it has a thick and sticky consistancy, like dough.
4. Combine the oats,the dates and the molasses into a bowl until it becomes a sticky dough(you should use your hands for this). It shouldn't crumble or fall apart.
5. Blend the chocolate in a food processor for just a little bit and then add it to the mixture.Add the dried fruits and the nuts too.
6. Spread the mixture in a baking sheet with parchment paper and press into it to make it thinner.
7. Put it in the fridge for about 2 hours or overnight.
8. Take the baking sheet out and cut your bars into any shape you like.
