Homemade Granola Bars

Customize these granola bars to your own taste by swapping out different varieties of dried fruits and nuts.

Ingredients

  • 1 ¼ cup rolled outs
  • ¼ cup oat flour (or finely ground rolled oats)
  • ¾ cup dried unsweetened shredded coconut
  • cup uncooked millet (or quinoa, quinoa flakes, wheat germ, chopped nuts or just more oats)
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp cinnamon
  • 1 cup chopped fried fruit (I used cranberries)
  • 1 cup chopped dark chocolate or chocolate chips
  • ¼ cup your preferred seed or nut or nutter (I used peanut butter)
  • ¼ cup olive oil or coconut oil (warmed until liquefied)
  • ¼ cup maple syrup, honey or golden syrup (I used honey)

Instructions

  • Pre-heat your oven to 350°F. Line an 8x8 inch square pan with parchment paper, leaving extra length up the sides of the pan to use as handles. (This will yield bars just over ¾ inch thick. For slightly thinner bars, use a 9x9 inch pan).
  • In a large bowl, combine all of the dry ingredients and mix until combined.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients until smooth.
  • Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and mix until well combined.
  • Pack the mixture as tightly as you can into your pan.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes until the top is golden and the edges are light brown.
  • Allow the bars to cool to about room temperature, and then transfer to the fridge to cool completely before cutting.
