NOTES

You can add your favorite dried fruits or nuts to this recipe. One or more fruit options both will work well. 
Storage: Granola bars can be stored in an airtight container, in a cool, dry spot for six months. You can also freeze granola bars just as you would cookies or other treats - just wrap firmly in a baking paper and add a layer of cling film, and pop into container in the freezer.
PRO TIP: For dried fruits - never eat them right from the package, they have tons of harmful toxins sprinkled on them (unless organic). To get rid of them, place your dried fruits in warm water for at least 30 minutes. Then take the fruits out and let them air dry. Only after that eat them or use them in baking.
