Honey Nut Granola Bars
These Honey Nut Granola Bars are awesome! I like the crispy version myself but my crew prefer the chewy ones. Next time I will just split the mixture into two pans so we can have both styles.
Ingredients:
4 ½ cups oatmeal (not instant)
½ cup flour
¼ cup brown sugar (white will work)
2 cups of chopped nuts (any style or combination)
1 tablespoon salt
2 cups honey (heat in microwave for easy pour)
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients except the honey
2. Stir in 1 cup of honey and mix well
3. Press into a foil or parchment lined baking pan*
4. Pour remaining cup of honey over the top of the mixture
5. Bake at 350 for: 15 minutes for chewy bars, 30 minutes for crispy bars
6. Allow to cool. Slice and enjoy!
* Use damp hands or wet the back of a large spoon to prevent mixture from sticking while pressing into pan
Options:
Try mixing in raisins or other thinly sliced fruit – we added a single banana to the mix and it basically dissolved. You could taste it, but not see it in the bars.
I can’t believe how easy this recipe is. I’m thinking of all the things that could be mixed in to gifts for the holidays. Will be saving this.
I spend a lot of money on these at the grocery store so this could save me some cash. Thanks for sharing!
I will definitely be making these granola bars. I have been looking for a recipe for a crunchy granola bar and this really sounds delicious. I have pinned the recipe and will make it immediately.
would love to try this, but 1 Tablespoon of salt? does it taste salty at all?
No it doesn’t.. but you could make it with less to start and see how you like it. I like it salty to counter the sweet of the honey.
I like all the ingredients in this. Yum. Even I could make this. Thanks.
Wow, I am so excited to try these! Thank you so much for the recipe. They seem like they would be pretty good for you. God bless!
