Description
This recipe makes chewy granola bars that hold together, rather than the loose cereal-style granola.
From Joanne Ozug of Fifteen Spatulas.
Ingredients
- 2 cups Old Fashioned Oats
- ½ cups Dried Cranberries
- ½ cups Pumpkin Seeds
- ½ cups Almond Flour
- ½ teaspoons Ground Cinnamon
- ½ teaspoons Salt
- ¼ cups Honey
- ½ cups Corn Syrup Or Brown Rice Syrup
- 4 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter
Preparation
Preheat oven to 350ºF. Butter an 8×8 pan or line with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, stir to combine oats, cranberries, pumpkin seeds, almond flour, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
In a small saucepan, bring honey, corn syrup, and butter to a boil over medium high heat, then cook for 3 minutes. Remove from heat and pour all over the oat mixture. Press into an 8×8 pan, compacting very well. Bake for 20 minutes until slightly golden on the edges.
Flip the granola square out of the pan and let cool on a flat surface. Cut into bars and enjoy!
Recipe note: The amount of wet ingredients used is the bare minimum for holding together. You may find you like to double the wet ingredients for a more sticky and sweet bar.
Storage: The granola bars will keep for 4–5 days at room temperature.
