How to Make Healthy Homemade Granola Bars

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides to lift the bars out easily.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond flour, chia seeds, and shredded coconut.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and salt.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until everything is evenly moistened.
  5. Stir in the chopped nuts, seeds, and dried fruits.
  6. Press the mixture firmly into the prepared baking pan. Make sure the mixture is evenly distributed.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the granola bars are golden brown and set. If you prefer chewier bars, bake for a shorter time. If you prefer crispier bars, bake for a longer time.
  8. Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. Use the parchment paper overhang to lift the bars from the pan.
  9. Once cooled, cut the bars into 12 even squares. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
