CHEWY HONEY GRANOLA BARS



Chewy Honey Granola Bars image

There's sweetness from the honey, chewiness from the raisins, hints of chocolate and cinnamon, and a bit of crunch. To save a few for later, wrap individual bars and place in a resealable freezer container. When you want a satisfying treat on short notice, just grab one and let it thaw for a few minutes. -Tasha Lehman, Williston, Vermont

Number Of Ingredients 12

Nonstick vegetable cooking spray
1 1/4 cups dried fruit (cherries, raisins, currants, cranberries, and/or blueberries), divided
2/3 cup honey
1/2 cup creamy almond, peanut, or sunflower butter
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups old-fashioned oats, divided
1/2 cup raw pumpkin seeds
1/2 cup raw sesame seeds
1/2 cup raw sunflower seeds

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325°F. Lightly coat a 13x9" pan with nonstick spray and line with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on both long sides; spray parchment.
  • Pulse 3/4 cup fruit and 1/2 cup hot water in a food processor until smooth and incorporated, 3-4 minutes. Add honey, almond butter, cinnamon, salt, and vanilla and pulse until combined, about 15 seconds. Add 1/2 cup oats and pulse until well combined, 30-45 seconds. Add pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, coconut, and remaining 1 cup oats and 1/2 cup fruit. Pulse until just combined, about 15 seconds.

Transfer pan to a wire rack and let cool in pan. Remove granola using parchment overhang, then cut into 20 bars with a serrated knife.
