Homemade Baked Granola Bars
Why eat packaged granola bars when you can make your own homemade baked granola bars! Create your own with items from your pantry!
Servings: 20 bars
Ingredients
- 1 cup old fashioned oats
- 1 cup oat flour store bought or just processed in your food processor
- ½ cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- ½ cup chopped nuts
- ¼ cup creamy peanut butter
- ½ cup honey
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
- Spread oats, oat flour, coconut, and nuts on the sheet. Bake in the oven for 8 minutes, until just becoming toasted.
- Remove from the oven and immediately place in a large mixing bowl.
- Add remaining ingredients to oatmeal mixture. Stir until well combined.
- Set aside. Line a 9x12 glass baking dish with foil. Spray with nonstick cooking spray.
- Press the granola mixture into the pan. Bake for 13-18 minutes at 350 degrees, cutting into bars halfway through.
- For a softer granola bar, bake for 13-15 minutes. For a crunchier granola bar, bake 15-18 minutes.
- Once bars are done baking, cut on the lines once more.
- Allow to cool completely in the pan. Remove by lifting the foil. Break bars apart and store in an airtight container.
