All Natural Granola Bars Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch square baking dish.
• Spread the oats and coconut evenly across a baking sheet.
• Toast oats and coconut in preheated oven until browned, about 10 minutes; transfer to a large mixing bowl.
• Mix honey, peanut butter, vanilla extract, and salt in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook and stir until smooth. Pour the honey mixture over the oats and coconut; stir to coat. Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
• Bake in preheated oven until beginning to dry, about 15 minutes for crunchy granola bars, less if you like them chewy. Cool completely before cutting.

Steps:

• Warm honey slightly in microwave and combine with peanut butter.
• Add oats, ground pecans, flour, and cinnamon.
• Stir in nuts, chips, dried fruit, etc.
• (My favorite combo is 1/2°C of dried fruit, 1/2°C of mini choc. chips, 1/2°C chopped almonds, 1/4°C sunflower seeds, and 1/4°C ground flax seeds).
• PRESS DOWN FIRMLY and evenly in sprayed 9x13 pan.
• Bake @ 350 for about 15 minutes - edges will begin to brown.
• Remove from oven and cut IMMEDIATELY into 20 bars.
• Allow to cool completely.
• I wrap bars individually for easy grabbing in the mornings!
