Peanutty Whole Grain Granola Bars Recipes

Steps:

• Combine cereal, oats, nuts, seeds, coconut and fruit in a large mixing bowl.
• Heat the peanut butter, syrup, and vanilla in a small sauce pan until warm. Do not boil.
• Pour the peanut butter mixture over the cereal mixture. Mix well while syrup is still warm. I use my hands as they are the best tool for this mixing job!
• Pour mixture into a 9x13 pan.
• Pack the mixture down firmly with moist fingers or the bottom of another 9x13 pan sprayed with cooking spray.
• The chocolate lover should sprinkle on the mini chocolate chips at this point and press them in firmly.
• Cover with plastic wrap.
• Cool completely.
• Cut into 24 bars.
• Wrap individually and store in fridge.
• I have kept these in the fridge for 2 weeks and they still taste fabulous!

Steps:

• Heat oven to 300 degrees. Mix all ingredients together and spread out on two baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
• Bake until golden brown all over, about 35 to 50 minutes. Stir the granola as it bakes at least 2 or 3 times, making sure to stir around the edges. Cool completely before storing airtight.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch pan.
• Combine oats, whole wheat flour, brown sugar, wheat germ, cinnamon, and salt in a bowl. Stir in honey, applesauce, egg, and vanilla extract. Stir in walnuts and cranberries. Mix until all ingredients are combined evenly and coated. Press into the prepared pan and flatten until even.
• Bake in the preheated oven until edges are golden brown, 20 to 30 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and place on a wire cooling rack for 20 minutes. Cut into bars. Gently flip the pan over; bars will come out if pan was properly greased.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300ºF. Oil a 9x13" cake pan. Mix the dry ingredients in a large bowl. In a small bowl, mix the honey and peanut butter. Gradually add the oil and keep mixing. Add the evaporated milk and vanilla and mix until smooth and well-blended. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix well. Turn mixture out into oiled pan. Gently press the mixture flat with a wet hand. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the edges are turning golden. Slice into bars while slightly warm. Store in an air-tight container.
