Good for my kids allergies & GRANOLA BAR RECIPE,
This trail mix now serves a new purpose for us. Recently we stopped ordering the Enjoy Life granola bars due to the brown rice syrup and the reports that some brown rice syrup contains arsenic. I have figured out how to make my own granola bars using this mix and a few other ingredients. Here is the recipe in case anyone else is interested:
3 bags Enjoy Life No Nuts Seed and Fruit mix (I bet any of the blends would work)
1/4 Cup Coconut Flour
1/4 Cup Ground Flax Seeds
1/4 Cup Cacao Nibs (these are unsweetened, and optional. I’m sure the Enjoy Life mini chocolate chips would be great in here too, or raisins…)
In case you are unfamiliar with any of the ingredients here are samples of each:

Navitas Naturals Cacao Nibs, 16-Ounce Pouches (Pack of 2)
You could add a little honey or other sweetener, but we don’t. The fruit in it makes it just sweet enough. However, due to my kids’ allergies they are used to this type of food. If you are just converting off a typical American diet, you might want it sweeter. Also, this recipe seems pretty forgiving if you want to experiment. I might try some with sunflower butter. I bet it would good, but this way is tasty and pretty simple, and I’m not sure that I want to add any more $ to these since we already go through 2-3 batches a week.
Before you start, preheat the oven to 300-350. (This is important if you want to do it the busy mom way.) Put it all in the food processor and let it become very fine granules, it will take a few minutes. Add 1/2 cup extremely hot water and keep it whizzing in the food processor for just a minute or so to mix it together. Pour into a pan. I use an 11 inch by 7 inch Pyrex pan. It helps if you grease the bottom. The mixture is very sticky, so spreading it out evenly is a little tricky. I use a large metal spatula-type thing that is actually for cutting dough. The parts that stick to the spatula I take off and put in the corners of the pan. I’m able to get it nice and smooth, just expect it to be thick and sticky. Next bake it for 10-15 minutes, or put it in and turn off the oven so you don’t have to remember it. That’s what I do and it works great. I just let it stay in there until I’m ready to cut it into bars or squares. It is much easier to cut if you wait for it to cool completely.
So, now that I am using this to make granola bars, we are going through a lot of this. But it’s healthy and free of all the allergens my kids have. I hope this helps someone.
In case anyone is wondering about ingredients. The bags I just got (with a new designed tan, orange and brown bag) list this:
Raw Sunflower Kernels, Pineapples*, Roasted Hulled Pumkin Seeds (Sunflower Oil (Sunflower Oil, Citric Acid), salt), Cranberries*, Apricots*.
*Sulfite-free
Also, they expire in September of this year…so, about 6 months from when I got them.
