Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 0.5 cup honey or maple syrup
- 0.33 cup nut butter (such as almond, peanut, or cashew)
- 0.5 cup chopped nuts or seeds (such as almonds, walnuts, sunflower seeds)
- 0.5 cup dried fruit (such as cranberries, raisins, or chopped apricots)
- 0.25 cup chocolate chips or shredded coconut (optional)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the edges for easy removal.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped nuts or seeds, dried fruit, and optional add-ins like chocolate chips or shredded coconut.
In a small saucepan over low heat, warm the honey or maple syrup and nut butter, stirring constantly, until smooth and melted.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly until all components are evenly coated.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and press it firmly into an even layer using the back of a spoon or your hands (you can use a piece of parchment paper to prevent sticking).
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the bars are firm and set.
Use the parchment paper overhang to lift the set mixture out of the dish. Transfer to a cutting board and slice into 12 equal bars.
Store the granola bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or freeze for longer storage.
