Follow these steps to make these healthy Granola Bars:
- Preheat oven to 325° F.
- Line a 9” x 9” square pan with 2 criss-cross sheets of parchment paper (not foil) leaving extra overhang on all sides.
- Combine oats, brown sugar, coconut and extras in a large bowl.
- Combine honey, oil, and vanilla in a measuring cup.
- Add honey mixture to oat mixture and combine well.
- Spread in baking pan, pressing down very firmly, taking about a minute to press as hard as you can.
- Bake for 30 minutes. Cool completely in pan. (mine takes an hour to cool on a cooling rack)
- Remove from pan (using parchment handles) to cutting board. Remove paper and cut into bars.
- Store each bar individually wrapped air-tight in plastic wrap or a mini snack bag, refrigerated. Then grab and go.
Watch how Jenny does this in the video, and pay special attention to pressing the bars down firmly before baking and (if necessary) after baking:
