Notes
Substitutions:
- If you don't have wheat germ, flax seeds are a suitable substitute.
- You can use any fruit mix you like.
- Almost any kind of nuts can be used instead of almonds, walnuts, and pecans.
- Butter can be used in place coconut oil in the bars, but they will be greasy and won't have the flavor that the coconut oil imparts.
- If you don't have a baking mold, you can use an 8-inch square pan. Just make sure to line it with parchment and grease it!
- Make sure the sunflower seeds are not salted.
- The almonds, walnuts, and pecans in this recipe are not roasted.
- Do not use instant oatmeal.
- You may need to set the chocolate coated granola in the freezer for 5 minutes to ensure the chocolate sets. Do not leave it in there longer!
