Bonjour, my dearest readers! Today, we are embarking on an exciting culinary journey, blending traditional snack preparation with a touch of modern wellness. We’re making CBD Infused Granola Bars, a wonderful snack that’s not only healthy but also infused with a calming, therapeutic effect. CBD, or Cannabidiol, has been recognized for its potential wellness benefits and has become increasingly popular in a variety of culinary applications. With the essence of CBD, each bite brings a wave of relaxation along with a surge of energy from the wholesome granola. Magnifique!
Preparation Time: 20 minutes
Cooking Time: 15 minutes
Yield: 16 bars
Ingredients
2 cups old fashioned oats
1 cup sliced almonds.
1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
1/4 cup chia seeds
1/2 cup sunflower seeds
1/4 cup flax seeds
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup almond butter
20mg CBD oil (adjust according to personal preference and sensitivity)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit or 175 degrees Celsius. Spread the oats and almonds on a baking sheet and toast for 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until lightly browned and fragrant.
- In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine the honey and butter. Stir until the butter has melted and the mixture begins to bubble.
- Once the oat and almond mixture is toasted, transfer it to a large mixing bowl and add the cranberries, mini chocolate chips, chia seeds, sunflower seeds, flax seeds, and salt. Stir to combine.
- Pour the hot honey and butter mixture over the granola mix, followed by the almond butter. Stir until everything is well coated.
- Now, let us introduce our special ingredient – the CBD oil. Gently stir it into the mixture, ensuring it is well incorporated.
- Line a baking dish with parchment paper, and spread the granola mixture evenly in the dish, pressing down firmly with a spatula or the back of a spoon.
- Let the mixture cool completely before cutting into bars. This may take several hours, but to hasten the process, you may refrigerate for about an hour.
