How to Make Fantastic Granola Bars

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease the bottom of a 13 x 9-inch baking pan with cooking spray or butter.
  3. In a large bowl, combine: 1 ½ cups rolled oats, ½ cup chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts, pecans - your choice!), ½ cup seeds (sunflower, pumpkin, flax - get creative!), ½ cup brown sugar, and ½ cup honey.
  4. Stir the ingredients from step 3 until thoroughly combined.
  5. Stir in: ½ cup dried fruit (cranberries, raisins, chopped apricots - the options are endless!), ¼ cup melted coconut oil, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
  6. Add any other desired ingredients (chocolate chips, shredded coconut, spices etc.), ensuring the mixture is clumping together well.
  7. Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the prepared baking pan using your fingers or a spatula.
  8. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and fragrant.
  9. Let the granola bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into bars. This allows them to set properly.
