How to Make Anna Olsen Granola Bars

  1. Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
  2. In a large bowl, combine 3 cups rolled oats, 1 cup peanuts (chopped), 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut, 1/2 cup raisins, 1/2 cup sunflower seeds, and 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds. Mix well.
  3. In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, melt together 1/2 cup peanut butter, 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar, 1/4 cup unsalted butter, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. Stir constantly until smooth and melted.
  4. Pour the melted mixture over the oat mixture and stir until evenly combined.
  5. Stir in 1 large egg and mix thoroughly. Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the prepared pan.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
