Good For You Granola Bars Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees with rack in center position. Line a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with parchment and lightly oil.
• In a large bowl, toss together the oats, coconut, almonds, sesame seeds, salt, and dried fruit. Separately whisk together the oil, honey, 1/3 cup water, vanilla, and egg whites; stir into the oat mixture.
• Spread the granola in the baking dish and pack firmly. Bake for one hour, or until golden on top and along the edges. Cool completely.
• Remove cooled granola to a cutting board. Cut in half lengthwise, and then cut crosswise into 1 1/2-inch-wide bars. Store in an airtight container.

Steps:

• pre-heat oven to 350F degrees.
• place 1st four ingredients on cookie sheet and toast in oven for 15 minutes.
• While that is toasting, add all other ingredients in large bowl and mix when complete.
• When oats and nuts are done toasting, let cool for 10 minutes so they don't melt the chocolate chips. While they cool, grease a 9x11 baking dish and line bottom with parchment paper or foil.
• mix all ingredients until well blended. spoon into baking dish and press down until flat and smooth (you will want to oil your hands so they dont stick).
• bake for 25 minutes. let cool for 5 minutes and cut along sides with knife or spatula and dump out onto a cutting board (parchment/foil will make it not stick to bottom). Cut into 12 bars. if they break apart, mold them back together. these will harden when fully cooled.

Steps:

• Preheat oven 300 degrees F.
• Place a medium saucepan over medium heat and add honey, dark brown sugar, canola oil, vanilla extract, and salt. Just stir that until the sugar has completely dissolved.
• Add oat mixture, and chopped dried fruit mix.
• When the mixture is completely mixed and no more liquid seems apparent, move that into a well-oiled 9 x 9 baking dish.
• Allow the bars to cool completely. Run a knife around the edge of the pan, turn out onto a cutting board and cut into 16 squares.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 150C/fan 130C/gas 2. Mix the oil, maple syrup, honey and vanilla in a large bowl. Tip in all the remaining ingredients, except the dried fruit and coconut, and mix well.
• Tip the granola onto two baking sheets and spread evenly. Bake for 15 mins, then mix in the coconut and dried fruit, and bake for 10-15 mins more. Remove and scrape onto a flat tray to cool. Serve with cold milk or yogurt. The granola can be stored in an airtight container for up to a month.
