How to Make Pistachio Lovers Granola Bars

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. In a medium saucepan, melt 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, 1/2 cup (100g) packed light brown sugar, 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar, 1/4 cup (60ml) corn syrup, and 2 tablespoons honey over medium heat. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  3. Heat, stirring constantly, until all sugars are completely dissolved.
  4. In a large bowl, combine 3 cups (375g) rolled oats, 1/2 cup (60g) wheat germ, 1/4 cup (30g) flax seeds, 1 cup (150g) craisins, and 1 cup (100g) shelled pistachios.
  5. Pour the melted butter mixture into the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly until evenly combined.
  6. Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking pan with cooking spray. Spread the granola mixture evenly into the prepared pan and press down firmly.
  7. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and set. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
  8. Let the granola bars cool completely in the pan before cutting.
  9. Once cooled, cut into 24 bars and enjoy! Store in an airtight container at room temperature or freeze for longer storage.
