EASY GRANOLA BARS



Easy Granola Bars image

Fantastic bars that have a lot of flexibility. You can adapt the recipe to your liking. Great for hikes, long road trips and camping as they store well and keep fairly long - unless you eat them all! Use any combination of chocolate chips, dried fruit, coconut, pecans, almond slices, or any other tidbits you'd like in a granola bar.

Time 15m

Yield 44 bars

Number Of Ingredients 9

5 cups rolled oats
6 cups crisp rice cereal
1 cup raisins
1/2 cup coconut
1 cup chocolate chips
1 cup peanut butter
1 cup light corn syrup
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Spray a large cookie sheet with cooking spray and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, combine oats, cereal, raisins and coconut. Stir.
  • In a separate, microwave safe bowl, combine the peanut butter, sugar and corn syrup.
  • Microwave on high 2 minute and stir. Microwave another 1-2 minute until mixture boils and sugar dissolves. Stir in vanilla.
  • Pour the sauce over the dry ingredients and mix well. Allow it to cool long enough to not melt the chocolate chips, then stir them in also.
  • Turn out onto the cookie sheet. Wet your hands under cold water and press into the pan.
  • Cut into bars. They can be eaten immediately, but they will set up more as they cool. Store in an airtight container.
  • Variations: Can use 2 cups each of Cheerios, Rice Krispies, and Corn Flakes instead of 6 cups crisp rice cereal. This is a nice taste variation but it is more crumbly.

Easy Magic Bullet Granola Bars! image

If I knew early how easy it was to make granola bars I would have stopped buying them. The ones in the store are packed with all kinds things that you may not want in your diet. Here is a recipe that you can play with and flavor the way you want with anything you have around the house. The ingredients I chose were just what I had lying around...

Categories     Nuts

Time 20m

Yield 10 bars, 7-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 cups quick-cooking oats
4 tablespoons dry-roasted soy nuts (salted optional)
1/4 cup sunflower seeds
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup sliced almonds
2 eggs
2 tablespoons vanilla
1/3 cup semi-sweet Hershey's Chipits- small chocolate chip
1/3 cup honey or 1/3 cup maple syrup

Steps:

  • Take your Magic Bullet or Blender and pop in your soy nuts, sunflower seeds, almonds , and if you have dried fruit pop it in as well. Blend until fine with a bit of chunks.
  • Then in a mixing bowl add your brown sugar, oats, and blended mix you just made with the magic bullet. Mix well.
  • Personally i like to put my honey in the microwave to get it to liquid, then add it to the mix along with the eggs, vanilla ( i put alot of vanilla), and chocolate chips. Mix until you get a snicky texture.If you change the recipe here you would have to simply adjust your wet vs dry ingredients to get that same sticky texture
  • Take a baking sheet and cover it with Parshemin paper and take the mix and plop it on top and with 2 spoons try and make the mix into a rectangular loaf 1/2'' high and equal all over.
  • Cook at 350 for about 12 min or until sides are golden.
  • Let Loaf cool off then cut as you wish, for storage the freeze really well so you can glad-wrap them for future use. Enjoy and have fun making your own.
