Peanut Butter & Date Granola Bars

These homemade granola bars could not be easier to make. Dates, peanut butter and honey create the glue that keeps everything sticking together. Toasting the hazelnuts gives these bars a fragrant, nutty flavor and helps loosen their skins, which can lend a bitter flavor if left on. If you don’t want to use hazelnuts, walnuts, cashews or pecans can be used in their place.
