SOMEONE CREATIVE!! Help me with dried fruit and nut combinations for making your own granola bars?!
Dried fruit + type of nut + 3rd random thing (or not)
I've made:
Dried cranberries + walnuts + crystallized ginger
Dried blueberries + pecans + crystallized ginger
Then I was thinking of:
Dried cherries + walnuts + chocolate chips
Can anyone think of cool combinations with other types of dried fruits and nuts and whatever?
Peanuts, hazelnuts, dates, dried pineapple, dried mango?
Also, can anyone think of something else like crystallized ginger that would add spice?

What about pineapple, macadamia nut and white chocolate chip? Maybe throw a little coconut in there or even several different types of tropical fruit? Cinnamon would pair up nicely with apples or bananas also.
Maple n brown sugar oatmeal + almonds or walnuts.
I've made my own granola bars
with stevia, oatmeal, raisins,crushed beans & lentils bonded with canned pumpkin& some molasses! (I actually copied the ingredients from a granola bar that I bought a health food store! I Don't save any money by making them! Just it's 1 1&1/4 miles to the nearest store!
you can use combinations of
dry grapes+type of nut+honey+cardamom+ blown rice
oat, etc.
you can mix any cereals you like and you can use honey or maple syrup or corn syrup then you can add red fruits (berries), chocolate chips, yoghurt,you can cover them in chocolate, good spices you can use are cardamom, cinnamon, lemongrass, kefir lime leaves, citrus zests, etc.
