Homemade Granola Bar Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (Gas Mark 4). Line a baking dish or tray with parchment paper or lightly grease it with organic coconut oil.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped nuts, dried fruit, seeds, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well to combine.
- In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the honey (or maple syrup), melted coconut oil, nut butter, and vanilla extract. Stir until everything is melted and well combined.
- Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl. Stir until all the dry ingredients are evenly coated with the wet mixture.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish or tray. Use a spatula or your hands to press the mixture firmly and evenly into the dish, ensuring it’s tightly packed.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool completely in the baking dish. Once cooled, use a sharp knife to cut the mixture into bars or squares.
- Store the granola bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or in the refrigerator for longer shelf life.
