If you're tired of the commercial granola bars, give this one a try. The manager at the gym I go to recommended this recipe and a friend was kind enough to make a batch for me. Delicious. (Original source appears to be a magazine, though I don't know which one.)

Time 1h30m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 large egg white
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup natural-style peanut butter
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup sliced almonds
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup old fashioned oats
1 tablespoon water

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
  • Line an 8 inch square baking pan with two criss-crossed rectangles of parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang at opposite ends.
  • In a large bowl, combine oats, almonds and cranberries.
  • In a small saucepan, whisk together oil, brown sugar, peanut butter, cinnamon, salt and water over low heat until the sugar has dissolved, about 5 minutes.
  • Let cool slightly; whisk in egg white.
  • Pour over oat mixture; stir until moistened.
  • Spread evenly in bottom of pan; smooth top.
  • Bake until top is firm, about 30 minutes. Note: The firm top is your best indicator that it's ready - if it's too soft the granola will be crumbly, if it's too hard it will be too brittle.
  • Let cool 10 minutes.
  • Lift out of pan, using paper as handles.
  • Let cool completely, cut into bars with a serrated knife.
