Yield Makes 20 bars

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
1/2 cup unsweetened coconut flakes

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 mixture to prepared pan, pressing down until completely even. Bake granola until darkened, firm around the edges, and the center gives just slightly when pressed, about 35 minutes. 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.
  • Do Ahead
  • Granola can be made 5 days ahead. Keep tightly wrapped at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your granola bars will be.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the granola bars tough. Just mix until the ingredients are combined.
  • Press the dough firmly into the pan. This will help the granola bars hold together.
  • Bake the granola bars until they are golden brown. This will ensure that they are cooked through.
  • Let the granola bars cool completely before cutting them. This will help them hold their shape.

Conclusion:

Cardamom granola bars are a delicious and healthy snack that are perfect for on-the-go. They are also a great way to use up ripe bananas. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make your own delicious cardamom granola bars at home.
