(Super Healthy) Chewy Granola Bars image

This is a base recipe that is full of nutrient rich ingredients but yet is not overly sweet. The result is a chewy, almost cake-like granola bar though not at all similar to any that you would find in the supermarket. This recipe is pretty flexible so don't hesitate to modify to suit your tastes. For a vegan version, replace the honey with maple syrup. And, try some of the suggested additions.

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:

  • Use a variety of oats for a more complex flavor and texture.
  • Toast the oats before baking to enhance their flavor.
  • Use a combination of nuts and seeds for a variety of textures and flavors.
  • Add dried fruit, chocolate chips, or other mix-ins to taste.
  • Press the granola bar mixture firmly into the pan to prevent it from crumbling.
  • Let the granola bars cool completely before cutting them into bars.
  • Store the granola bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
