Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
- 1 cup raisins
- 0.5 cup chopped nuts (optional, e.g., almonds, walnuts)
- 0.5 cup creamy peanut butter
- 0.5 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal later.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, shredded coconut, raisins, chopped nuts (if using), salt, and ground cinnamon. Stir well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the peanut butter, honey, and coconut oil. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and well blended. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to mix until all the dry ingredients are evenly coated.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Press it firmly and evenly into the dish using the back of a spoon or your hands (you can use a piece of parchment paper to avoid sticking).
Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Do not overbake, as the bars will firm up as they cool.
Remove the dish from the oven and allow the bars to cool completely in the pan, about 1–2 hours.
Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the bars out of the pan. Place them on a cutting board and slice into 12 equal pieces.
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.
