Honey-Oat Granola Bars image

I found this recipe on one of our monthly Brown County REA newsletters. My husband and I eat a few of these bars each day. It's a basic recipe to which you can add any of your favorite flavors...coconut, chocolate or different flavored chips, nuts or dried fruits.

Yield 3 dozen.

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 cups quick-cooking oats
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 cup chopped salted peanuts
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup sunflower kernels
3/4 cup butter, melted
2/3 cup honey
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, combine oats, brown sugar, peanuts, chocolate chips and sunflower kernels. Stir in butter, honey and vanilla until combined (mixture will be crumbly). Press into a greased parchment-lined 15x10x1-in. baking pan., Bake 15-20 minutes or until browned and bubbly. Cool 15 minutes on a wire rack; cut into squares. Cool completely before removing from pan. Freeze option: Wrap each cooled bar in plastic; freeze until firm. To use, thaw bar at room temperature or, if desired, unwrap and place on a microwave-safe plate and microwave on high for 15-20 seconds or until heated through.
