Yield Makes 2 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into pieces, plus more, softened, for pan
4 1/2 cups old-fashioned (rolled) oats
1/3 cup light-brown sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup coarsely chopped pecans (2 ounces)
1/2 cup golden raisins
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup sunflower seeds
1/2 cup wheat germ
1/2 cup dried apricots (3 1/4 ounces)
1/2 cup honey

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking pan; line bottom with parchment paper, and butter parchment. Set aside. In a large bowl, mix together the oats, brown sugar, flour, and baking soda. Stir in the pecans, raisins, chocolate chips, sunflower seeds, and wheat germ, and set aside.
  • Place apricots in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal blade, and process until smooth, about 60 seconds. Add the butter, and process until smooth. With the machine running, add honey through the feed tube, processing until smooth. Transfer apricot mixture to bowl with oat mixture, and fold until thoroughly combined.
  • Transfer mixture to prepared pan. Using a rubber spatula, press it firmly into bottom and edges of pan, and level the surface. Place in oven, and bake until golden, about 30 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack, and let cool completely.
  • Invert onto a baking sheet, and lift to remove pan; peel off parchment paper. Reinvert onto a cutting board, and cut into 24 bars, each about 1 1/4 by 3 inches. Bars can be wrapped in waxed paper and stored in airtight containers at room temperature up to 2 weeks.

Tips:

  • Choose the right oats. Old-fashioned oats are the best choice for chewy granola bars. Quick-cooking oats will make the bars too soft, and steel-cut oats will make them too hard.
  • Don't overcook the oats. The oats should be cooked until they are softened, but still have a little bit of chew to them. Overcooked oats will make the bars too mushy.
  • Use a variety of nuts and seeds. This will give the bars more flavor and texture. Some good options include almonds, walnuts, pecans, chia seeds, and flax seeds.
  • Add some dried fruit. Dried fruit will add sweetness and chewiness to the bars. Some good options include raisins, cranberries, and cherries.
  • Don't forget the chocolate chips. Chocolate chips are a classic granola bar ingredient, and they always make the bars more delicious.
  • Press the bars firmly into the pan. This will help them hold together better.
  • Let the bars cool completely before cutting them. This will help them stay intact.

Conclusion:

Hershey's Homemade Chewy Granola Bars are a delicious and healthy snack that is perfect for on-the-go. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a batch of granola bars that the whole family will love.
