HEALTHY NUTELLA® GRANOLA BARS

Healthy Nutella® Granola Bars image

This recipe is actually based off a recipe called Chewy, Nutty, Healthy Granola Bars that I modified. I made for my 4-H club and they loved it so much I made it a couple more times. The raisins are just a filler because I felt the granola bars were lacking without it. The granola bars still taste good without it. Dried fruit or nuts can be substituted.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8x11-inch baking dish.
