Grandmas Peanut Butter Granola Bars Recipes

Steps:

• Melt peanut butter and honey together in a saucepan over medium heat. Dissolve brown sugar into the peanut butter mixture; bring to a simmer for 2 minutes.
• Mix granola, oats, rice cereal, chocolate chips, and fruit together in a large bowl; pour peanut butter mixture over the granola mixture and fold to coat.
• Grease a cake pan. Pour the granola mixture into the prepared pan and press into a flat layer. Cool at room temperature until set, about 15 minutes before cutting into bars.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
• Line an 8 inch square baking pan with two criss-crossed rectangles of parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang at opposite ends.
• In a large bowl, combine oats, almonds and cranberries.
• In a small saucepan, whisk together oil, brown sugar, peanut butter, cinnamon, salt and water over low heat until the sugar has dissolved, about 5 minutes.
• Let cool slightly; whisk in egg white.
• Pour over oat mixture; stir until moistened.
• Spread evenly in bottom of pan; smooth top.
• Bake until top is firm, about 30 minutes. Note: The firm top is your best indicator that it's ready - if it's too soft the granola will be crumbly, if it's too hard it will be too brittle.
• Let cool 10 minutes.
• Lift out of pan, using paper as handles.
• Let cool completely, cut into bars with a serrated knife.

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in the middle of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Spray a 7 by 10 3/4-inch nonstick baking pan with vegetable cooking spray. Lay a 6 by 18-inch piece of parchment paper in the pan, allowing the excess paper to hang over the sides. Spray the parchment paper lightly with cooking spray.
• In a medium bowl, using a hand beater, beat the egg white until frothy. Stir in the peanut butter, brown sugar, and honey. Add the melted butter, oats and almonds. Stir to combine, then add the chocolate chips.
• Using a rubber spatula, spread mixture into the prepared baking pan, pressing lightly to form an even layer. Bake until the edge of the mixture begins to brown, about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for at least 1 hour. Cut into 1 1/2-inch squares and serve.
• *Cook's Note: To toast almonds, arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake in a preheated 350 degree F oven until lightly browned, about 8 to 10 minutes.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix together the honey and peanut butter. Using a spatula, stir in the granola. Add enough milk to just moisten--you want it to stick together. Form into balls. Chill until ready to serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350.
• Beat first 5 ingredients until well blended.
• Combine oats, sugar & salt; add to peanut butter mixture and mix until sticky batter forms (about 1 minute).
• Stir in chocolate chips.
• Press into a 13" x 9" pan coated with cooking spray. Use a piece of wax paper to help press it into an even layer in the pan.
• Bake 12-15 minutes. Cool completely and slice into bars.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with waxed paper.
• Mix oats, raisins, and cinnamon together in a bowl. Mix peanut butter with the oats mixture using your hands until ingredients are coated in peanut butter; add egg white and honey and continue mixing with hands until evenly mixed. Spread the mixture onto the baking sheet.
• Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes, stir, and continue baking until beginning to brown, 5 to 10 minutes more.
• Let granola cool until it begins to harden, at least 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Melt together margarine, peanut butter and honey.
• Add vanilla and salt.
• Add oatmeal and toss to coat completely.
• Spread on baking sheet.
• Bake at 375 about 10 minutes. Stir after 5 minutes.
• Store at room temperature in sealed container.
• Note.watch it closely while it bakes -- it burns easily, especially around the edges where it's spread thinner on the pan.
• Also note -- I omit the salt without noticing any change in flavour.

Steps:

• Lightly grease a 12x8 inch baking dish. If you don't have this size, 11x7 or 13x9 will work.
• Put half of the oats in a food processor and process until it forms a powder. This is optional, but I like the texture it creates.
• Add processed oats, remaining oats, and cereal to a large bowl.
• Put dates and craisins in a food processor and process until finely chopped. Add to dry ingredients.
• In a small saucepan, heat honey until it starts to bubble. Remove from heat and whisk in the peanut butter and vanilla until well combined.
• Pour liquid over the dry mixture and stir to combine.
• Stir in chocolate chips. Be aware the chips will melt into the mix. You can freeze them ahead of time if you want them to stay whole.
• Dump mixture into the greased baking dish. Lay a sheet of waxed or parchment paper over top, then press down the mixture until smooth and even. Throw out paper.
• Allow to cool for about 15 minutes, then slice into bars while still in the dish. Chill dish for about an hour to firm up, then remove bars and place in an airtight container.

Steps:

• Line an 8 by 10 pan with parchment paper.
• Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl.
• To make the "granola glue" or peanut butter sauce, combine honey and brown sugar in a small saucepan. Heat, while stirring, until the brown sugar dissolves. Bring mixture to a simmer and simmer for 1-2 minutes until evenly foamy/bubbly on top. Remove from the heat. Add one teaspoon vanilla extract. Stir (it will steam a bit). Add peanut butter and stir briskly until lumps are gone and the consistency is uniform.
• Pour granola glue in bowl with dry ingredients and mix.
• Place the mixture in pan and press down with a fork to smooth out.
• Place in fridge for at least an hour (I leave it in overnight).

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, beat the peanut butter, honey, egg, oil and vanilla until blended. Combine the oats, brown sugar and salt; add to the peanut butter mixture and mix well. Stir in chips. (Batter will be sticky.), Press into a greased 13x9-in. baking pan. Bake until mixture is set and edges are lightly browned, 12-15 minutes. Cool on a wire rack. Cut into bars.
