How to Make Quickie 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 rolled oats, brown sugar, salt, and chopped nuts.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together melted butter, honey, peanut butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir until everything is evenly moistened.
  5. Stir in the raisins (or other dried fruit).
  6. Press the mixture firmly into the prepared baking pan.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and set. Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into bars.
  8. Once cooled, lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into desired sizes and enjoy!
