Lightly sweetened with honey and flavored with coconut, vanilla, cherries and cinnamon, these bars are a wholesome and yummy treat.
I like to keep these bars in the refrigerator, so the texture stays firm.
*You can buy oat flour, or make oat flour by putting oats in a food processor and blending them into a smooth flour
Tahini granola bars stay fresh at room temperature for about a week, although bars left out on the counter have a much softer texture than if you refrigerate the bars (which I prefer to do.) Refrigerated bars will stay fresh for 2 weeks or more. You can also keep the bars in the freezer.
I prefer unsweetened tart dried cherries with no added sugar, but they're hard to find at grocery stores. My favorite brand is Brownwood Acres unsweetened tart dried cherries, which I order from Amazon.
You can use dark chocolate chips instead of (or in addition to) dried cherries.
If you like the flavor of cardamom, you can add 1/4 teaspoon to these bars
