I decided before the end of last year that we needed to start exploring other ways of being healthy. We do a great job of providing nutritious meals for ourselves and the kids now, but there are so many other lifestyles out there that might be a better fit for us than our current one. I’ve heard so many good things about having a gluten-free diet, so I wanted to give it a chance. Also, my sister just found out from her doctor that for her health, she needs to cut out all gluten from her diet. What better time to start exploring than now!
When I explore a new cuisine or culinary lifestyle, I always go to snacks and desserts first. It’s just what I do. It’s the best part of your foodie lifestyle, so why not try to alter it a bit? When Udi’s sent me a large package of all of their goodies, I immediately fell in love with the vanilla granola. I also wanted to play with it. My fruity nut squares popped into my mind. The recipe is already gluten free so using the granola as a substitute would be the perfect fit.
Ingredients: Udi’s Sweet and Crunchy Vanilla Granola, peanut butter, coconut oil, honey, chopped dried prunes, and gluten free rice cereal.

Once it’s all combined, place in a 9×13 baking dish or small cookie sheet and place in the fridge, covered, for 2 hours to overnight.
Once done cut into bars and serve. Or, wrap in wax paper and use as a snack for the week.
Thanks for the recipe..I have always wanted to try and make my own granola!
That looks delicious! I recently cut out wheat so I’m going to try this! Thanks!
I love Udi’s granola! Your recipe is such a great idea.
These are easy enough that I could make them! And they look delicious too!
Looks yummy!
Our family has decided to eat more “clean” or organic this year. Good luck to us both on having healthier families!
