Reallygoodfruitfilledgranolabars Recipes

Steps:

• Grease a 9-inch square baking pan with cooking spray, line the bottom with parchment paper and set aside.
• Combine the oats, flax seed, digestive biscuits, walnuts and chocolate chips in a large heat-proof bowl.
• Combine the sugar, honey, corn syrup and butter in a small saucepan set over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the butter melts and the mixture starts to boil. Once it has come to a light boil, cook the mixture for 2 minutes to dissolve the sugar.
• Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the vanilla and kosher salt. Add to the oat mixture and stir to combine. Stir in the marshmallows, if using.
• Scrape the mixture into your prepared pan and press firmly into an even layer. Place the pan in the fridge for about 1 hour to firm up.
• Carefully lift the granola bars out of the pan and slice into 12 equal bars. Wrap individually in parchment, wax paper or plastic wrap and place in a tightly sealed container.
• For a chewier bar, store in the fridge. For softer bars, store in the cupboard.

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.

Steps:

• Combine cereal, oats, nuts, seeds, coconut and fruit in a large mixing bowl.
• Heat the peanut butter, syrup, and vanilla in a small sauce pan until warm. Do not boil.
• Pour the peanut butter mixture over the cereal mixture. Mix well while syrup is still warm. I use my hands as they are the best tool for this mixing job!
• Pour mixture into a 9x13 pan.
• Pack the mixture down firmly with moist fingers or the bottom of another 9x13 pan sprayed with cooking spray.
• The chocolate lover should sprinkle on the mini chocolate chips at this point and press them in firmly.
• Cover with plastic wrap.
• Cool completely.
• Cut into 24 bars.
• Wrap individually and store in fridge.
• I have kept these in the fridge for 2 weeks and they still taste fabulous!

Steps:

• Combine in Mixing bowl the oats, flour, baking soda and brown sugar.
• Cut in margarine until it looks like coarse crumbs.
• Reserving 1/4 cup of mixture for top, press remainder of mixture firmly and evenly into bottom of an ungreased 9X9 pan.
• Spread pureed fruit onto top of oatmeal mixture.
• Sprinkle reserved 1/4 cup of oatmeal mixture onto top, following it with a sprinkling of all of the nuts.
• Press mixture very lightly to make sure all of the nuts are'committed' but not so hard that the fruit all squishes to the top.
• Bake at 350 degrees fahrenheit for approximately 30 minutes or until top is golden.
• Cool in the pan.
• Cut into bars.
• Makes 20-25 bars.
