Your Favorite Flavor Granola Bars Recipes

GRANOLA BARS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch square baking dish.
• Spread the oats and coconut evenly across a baking sheet.
• Toast oats and coconut in preheated oven until browned, about 10 minutes; transfer to a large mixing bowl.
• Mix honey, peanut butter, vanilla extract, and salt in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook and stir until smooth. Pour the honey mixture over the oats and coconut; stir to coat. Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
• Bake in preheated oven until beginning to dry, about 15 minutes for crunchy granola bars, less if you like them chewy. Cool completely before cutting.

HONEY-OAT GRANOLA BARS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, combine oats, brown sugar, peanuts, chocolate chips and sunflower kernels. Stir in butter, honey and vanilla until combined (mixture will be crumbly). Press into a greased parchment-lined 15x10x1-in. baking pan., Bake 15-20 minutes or until browned and bubbly. Cool 15 minutes on a wire rack; cut into squares. Cool completely before removing from pan. Freeze option: Wrap each cooled bar in plastic; freeze until firm. To use, thaw bar at room temperature or, if desired, unwrap and place on a microwave-safe plate and microwave on high for 15-20 seconds or until heated through.

YOUR FAVORITE FLAVOR GRANOLA BARS

Steps:

• First melt the margarine and honey in a saucpan on the stove or in a micro-safe container.

• Then pour choc chips on top after baked and spread.

• And or add half the bag chips (any flavor) to the mix as well as melting on top.
• Use your imagination and anything you find left in the pantry!
• Press hard onto a cookie sheet.
• I usually line it with foil.
• Bake at 320 for 15 minutes.
• It will puff up.
• Remove from the oven and evenly sprinkle half a bag of your favorite flavor chips on top.
• Wait a minute and then spread with a spatula.
• Careful not to pick up the spatula, but just keep spreading.
• You MUST cut into squares while still hot.
• They taste great hot and cold.
• Store for a week in an airtight container or they freeze great and even taste good frozen if you are sneaking them out of the freezer!
