How to Make Granola Bars Good Eats

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, combine rolled oats, sunflower seeds, almonds, and wheat germ.
  3. Spread the oat mixture on a baking sheet and toast for 15 minutes, stirring halfway through, until lightly golden.
  4. While the oats toast, combine honey, brown sugar, butter, vanilla extract, and salt in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
  5. Stir frequently until the brown sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
  6. Reduce oven temperature to 300°F (150°C).
  7. Remove the toasted oat mixture from the oven and immediately add it to the honey mixture. Stir in the dried fruit.
  8. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Press down firmly and evenly to compact.
  9. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and set.
  10. Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
  11. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
