How to Make Best Ever Granola Bars
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a small (8x8 inch) baking pan.
- Combine oats, rice krispies (optional), brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl.
- Add peanut butter, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil. Mix well to combine.
- Stir in your choice of mix-ins (see ingredient suggestions below).
- Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the prepared baking pan.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and set. For chewier bars, reduce baking time to 18-20 minutes. For crispier bars, bake for 25-28 minutes.
- Let the granola bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
