Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Rolled oats
- 1 cup Sunflower seed butter
- 0.5 cup Honey
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Mini chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup Dried cranberries
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
Instructions
Line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving extra paper hanging over the sides for easy removal later.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, dried cranberries, mini chocolate chips, ground flaxseed, and salt. Stir until evenly distributed.
In a medium saucepan, combine the sunflower seed butter, honey, brown sugar, coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring continuously until it begins to bubble gently. Allow it to bubble for 1-2 minutes, then remove from heat.
Pour the warm mixture over the dry ingredients in the bowl. Stir thoroughly until everything is evenly coated.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Use the back of a spoon or a spatula to press it down firmly and evenly into the dish.
Allow the granola bars to cool at room temperature for about 1 hour, or place them in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes to set faster.
Once set, use the overhanging parchment paper to lift the mixture out of the dish. Place it on a cutting board and cut into 12 equal bars.
Store the granola bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
