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
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
