How to Make Homemade Granola Bars
- Preheat 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.
- In a large bowl, combine the oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to combine.
- In a separate bowl, melt the butter and brown sugar together. Add the honey and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Stir in the chopped nuts, seeds, and dried fruit.
- Press the mixture firmly into the prepared baking pan. Make sure it's evenly distributed.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the granola bars are golden brown and set. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with a few moist crumbs attached.
- Let the granola bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into bars. Once cooled, lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang.
- Cut into desired sizes and store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
