How to Make Homemade Chewy Granola Bars
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 13x9 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, combine brown sugar, peanut butter, corn syrup, softened margarine, and vanilla extract. Mix until well blended.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, salt, and baking soda.
- Add the dry ingredients (flour mixture) to the wet ingredients. Stir until just combined.
- Stir in the rolled oats, chopped nuts, and dried fruit (and chocolate chips, if using). Mix until evenly distributed.
- Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the prepared baking pan.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the center is set. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with a few moist crumbs.
- Let the granola bars cool completely in the pan before cutting. This will help them firm up.
- Once cooled, cut into bars and enjoy!
