Granola Bars

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Cook Time: 10 minutes

Yield: 14 to 20 bars

This chewy homemade granola bars recipe is so much tastier than store-bought! It’s one of the healthiest snacks to make at home.


Ingredients:

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter (Jaggery or Chocolate as per choice)
  • ½ cup Infinito raw honey. For vegan user, ½ cup agave syrup
  • 3 ½ cups rolled oats
  • ½ teaspoon rock salt powder
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon powder
  • Up to 1 cup finely chopped nuts, dried fruits and seeds, or ½ cup mini chocolate chips


Instructions:

  1. Toast the oats: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the oats in a single layer on a baking sheet and toast them for 10 minutes until lightly golden. (This step adds incredible toasty flavour to the oats)
  2. Mix the ingredients: Transfer the oats to a large bowl and mix in the peanut butter, honey, oats, salt and cinnamon in a bowl. Stir in mix-ins.
  3. Form into bars: Add a sheet of parchment paper to 9x9 pan, letting the edges drape over the sides. Place the mixture into the pan and press it into an even layer. Add a few more mix-ins to the top of the bars, if you’d like. Use a small glass to roll over the top to make them as smooth as possible.
  4. Freeze and cut the bars: Freeze the bars for 10 minutes. Then remove the pan from the freezer and use the parchment to lift the bars out of the pan. Use a sharp knife to cut them  into 20 rectangles (that are 4x5 inches) or 14 bar sized shapes ( that are 4 ½ by 1 ¼ inches). Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks. The texture is most solid after you refrigerate for a few hours.
  5. Optionally, you can individually wrap the bars with parchment paper or wax paper and secure the wrapper with tape.
