Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Homemade Granola Bars.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a cozy 325°F (165°C) and lightly coat a 9-inch square baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Step 2
Next, spread rolled oats and shredded coconut across a baking sheet, toasting them in the warm oven for about 10 minutes until they turn a delightful golden brown.
Step 3
Once toasted, transfer these fragrant ingredients to a large mixing bowl, where the magic begins.
Step 4
In a saucepan set over medium-low heat, combine honey, creamy peanut butter, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
Step 5
Stir this mixture gently until it transforms into a smooth, harmonious blend.
Step 6
Pour the luscious honey concoction over the toasted oats and coconut, mixing thoroughly to ensure every morsel is coated in sweetness.
Step 7
Carefully transfer this mixture into your prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly to create a solid base.
Step 8
Bake in the oven for approximately 15 minutes if you crave crunchy granola bars, or reduce the time for a chewier texture—just keep a watchful eye to prevent over-baking.
Step 9
Once baked to perfection, allow the granola bars to cool completely in the dish before slicing them into squares or bars.
Step 10
Enjoy the wholesome goodness of your homemade treat!.
