For the last few weeks I've been on the search for a good granola bar recipe. Something cheap sans high fructose corn syrup. This one has the novelty of being versatile, easy, and very tasty!
No Bake Granola Bars
Adapted from Tasty Kitchen
You will need:
2 1/2 cups rolled oats
1 1/2 cups chopped nuts (for example, walnuts, almonds or pecans)
1/4 cup shredded coconut
1/2 cup dried fruit (for example, craisins, raisins or dates)
6 tablespoons oil or butter
1 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp salt
6 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons molasses
2 tsp vanilla
First, toast the oats, nuts, and coconut in a large skillet over medium heat until fragrant, stirring often. Remove to large bowl and toss with dried fruit.
Place oil or butter, sugar, cinnamon, honey, salt, and molasses in small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally until it comes to a rolling boil. Turn off heat, add vanilla and stir into oat mixture until evenly coated.
Spoon mixture onto a well greased 11x7 pan, pressing down. Place in fridge for about 30 minutes to firm up.
Cut into bars. Wrap individually in plastic wrap or parchment paper. Store at room temperature.
