Zubereitung von The Best Granola Bar
- Melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) of unsalted butter in the microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring until completely melted.
- In a large bowl, cream together the melted butter, 1 cup packed light brown sugar, 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter, 1/4 cup light corn syrup, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract using an electric mixer until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, combine 3 cups rolled oats, 1 cup chopped nuts (your choice!), 1/2 cup shredded coconut (optional), 1/2 cup dried fruit (raisins, cranberries, etc., optional), and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until everything is evenly moistened.
- Line an 8x11 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides to help with lifting out the finished bars. Press the granola mixture firmly and evenly into the prepared pan.
- Bake at 325°F (160°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Keep a close eye to avoid over-baking.
- Let the bars cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into bars and store in an airtight container at room temperature or freeze for longer storage.
