Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9-inch square baking dish with parchment or foil and lightly spray with cooking spray.
- Place the oats and nuts on a rimmed baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes until lightly toasted.
- While the oats are toasting, add the honey, butter, and brown sugar to a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat until the butter melts and the sugar dissolves, stirring constantly. Let the mixture bubble, while stirring, for 1 minute and then remove from the heat.
- Place the nuts and oats in a large bowl.
- Stir in the vanilla and salt to the butter mixture. Pour this mixture over the oat and nut mixture and stir to combine. Add any extra ingredients (except for chocolate) and stir to combine. Make sure none of the oats are dry.
- If you are adding chocolate, wait about 15 minutes for the mixture to cool a bit before adding the chocolate and then stirring to combine.
- Place all of the oat mixture in the prepared pan. Use a rubber spatula or the bottom of a greased measuring cup to press the mixture into the pan. Press it in very firmly, this is what makes the bars stick together.
- Chill the granola bars for at least 2 hours. Lift the bars from the pan using the edges of the foil or parchment and place them on a cutting board. Cut into desired shape/sizes and serve.
- Store in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to 10 days. If you are stacking the granola bars place a piece of parchment between the layers to help prevent sticking.

Steps:
- Take your Magic Bullet or Blender and pop in your soy nuts, sunflower seeds, almonds , and if you have dried fruit pop it in as well. Blend until fine with a bit of chunks.
- Then in a mixing bowl add your brown sugar, oats, and blended mix you just made with the magic bullet. Mix well.
- Personally i like to put my honey in the microwave to get it to liquid, then add it to the mix along with the eggs, vanilla ( i put alot of vanilla), and chocolate chips. Mix until you get a snicky texture.If you change the recipe here you would have to simply adjust your wet vs dry ingredients to get that same sticky texture
- Take a baking sheet and cover it with Parshemin paper and take the mix and plop it on top and with 2 spoons try and make the mix into a rectangular loaf 1/2'' high and equal all over.
- Cook at 350 for about 12 min or until sides are golden.
- Let Loaf cool off then cut as you wish, for storage the freeze really well so you can glad-wrap them for future use. Enjoy and have fun making your own.
