Tips:
- Use a variety of oats. This will give your granola bars a more complex flavor and texture. You can use old-fashioned oats, quick-cooking oats, or even steel-cut oats.
- Don't overcook the oats. They should be slightly chewy, not mushy. Cook them for just a few minutes, or until they are starting to soften.
- Add your favorite nuts and seeds. This is a great way to add some extra crunch and flavor to your granola bars. Some popular choices include almonds, walnuts, pecans, sunflower seeds, and chia seeds.
- Use a natural sweetener. Honey, maple syrup, or agave nectar are all good choices. You can also use a combination of sweeteners.
- Don't be afraid to experiment. There are endless possibilities when it comes to making granola bars. Try different combinations of ingredients and flavors until you find one that you love.
