Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 0.5 cup almonds
- 0.25 cup pumpkin seeds
- 0.25 cup sunflower seeds
- 0.5 cup dried cranberries
- 0.5 cup honey
- 0.25 cup coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang to easily lift out the bars later.
In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, almonds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, and dried cranberries. Stir to mix evenly.
In a small saucepan over low heat, add honey and coconut oil, stirring until the coconut oil is melted and the mixture is smooth.
Remove the mixture from heat and stir in vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until fully incorporated.
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients in the large bowl. Mix thoroughly until all dry ingredients are evenly coated.
Transfer the granola mixture into the prepared baking dish. Press down firmly with the back of a spoon or your hands to create an even and compact layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the dish cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes, then refrigerate for an additional 30-60 minutes to ensure the bars set completely.
Once chilled, lift the bars out of the dish using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into 12 equal bars using a sharp knife.
Store the granola bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or in the refrigerator for a longer shelf life.
