How to Make Black Raspberry Granola Bars
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients: 2 cups rolled oats, 1 cup chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts, or pecans), ½ cup shredded coconut, ½ cup seeds (sunflower, pumpkin, or chia), ½ cup whole wheat flour, ½ teaspoon baking soda, ¼ teaspoon salt, and ½ cup brown sugar.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: 2 large eggs, ½ cup milk (dairy or non-dairy), ¼ cup honey, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and ¼ cup canola oil.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly until evenly moist. The mixture will be lumpy and slightly stiff.
- Press about ⅔ of the granola mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan.
- In a small bowl, gently combine ¼ cup black raspberry preserves with 1 tablespoon brandy (or apple juice).
- Evenly pour the black raspberry mixture over the granola base.
- Top with spoonfuls of the remaining granola mixture, spreading it evenly.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the granola bars are lightly browned and set. Insert a toothpick to check for doneness.
- Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. Cover the pan with plastic wrap or a saucer to prevent spattering during baking.
- Once cooled, cut into bars or squares and enjoy!
