Simple granola bars
- 3 cup Quaker Oats
- 3/4 cup almonds
- 3/4 cup hemp seeds
- 3/4 cup cashews
- 2 cup oat bran
- 3/4 cup natural honey
- pinch salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter
- Directions1.
- Preheat the oven to 350F and butter an 8 by 12-inch baking dish on all sides and the bottom and line the bottom with parchment paper so the granola bars are sure to not stick.
- 2.
- Toss the oatmeal, almonds, wheat bran, add together on a sheet pan and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until just lightly browned.
- DO NOT leave this in too long because it burns fast.
- Make sure to check it all the time.
- 3.
- While the dry ingredients toast, place the butter, honey, brown sugar, vanilla, and salt in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat.
- Cook for one minute at a low boil, then set aside.
- 4.
- Scoop all your toasted dry ingredients into a large bowl and pour the wet mixture over the toasted stir well.
- You can always substitute different fruit.
- 5.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared pan.
- Wet your fingers and lightly press the mixture down into the pan.
- I line the top with parchment paper and use another pan to press down really firmly so my bars are super packed in.
- 6.
- Bake at 300F now for 25-35 minutes, until light golden brown.
- Cool completely before slicing into bars.
- Serve at room temperature.
