Time 1h30m

Yield 24 bars

Number Of Ingredients 9

Vegetable cooking spray
1 egg white
1/2 cup chunky peanut butter
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup honey
1/2 cup (1-stick) unsalted butter, melted
2 cups old fashioned oats
1/4 cup slivered almonds, toasted, *see Cook's Note
1/3 cup miniature chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Position an oven rack in the middle of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Spray a 7 by 10 3/4-inch nonstick baking pan with vegetable cooking spray. Lay a 6 by 18-inch piece of parchment paper in the pan, allowing the excess paper to hang over the sides. Spray the parchment paper lightly with cooking spray.
  • In a medium bowl, using a hand beater, beat the egg white until frothy. Stir in the peanut butter, brown sugar, and honey. Add the melted butter, oats and almonds. Stir to combine, then add the chocolate chips.
  • Using a rubber spatula, spread mixture into the prepared baking pan, pressing lightly to form an even layer. Bake until the edge of the mixture begins to brown, about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for at least 1 hour. Cut into 1 1/2-inch squares and serve.
  • *Cook's Note: To toast almonds, arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake in a preheated 350 degree F oven until lightly browned, about 8 to 10 minutes.

If you're tired of the commercial granola bars, give this one a try. The manager at the gym I go to recommended this recipe and a friend was kind enough to make a batch for me. Delicious. (Original source appears to be a magazine, though I don't know which one.)

Categories     Breakfast

Time 1h30m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 large egg white
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup natural-style peanut butter
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup sliced almonds
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup old fashioned oats
1 tablespoon water

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
  • Line an 8 inch square baking pan with two criss-crossed rectangles of parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang at opposite ends.

Provided by jellygirl

Categories     < 15 Mins

Time 5m

Yield 1 bar, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups old fashioned oats
2 cups creamy peanut butter
1 cup nutella, spread
1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup ground flax seeds
1/4 cup slivered almonds

Steps:

  • Place peanut butter and nutella in microwave safe bowl and heat till melted (about 1 minute to 1 1/2 minutes).
  • Pour all other ingredients in large bowl.
  • Mix PB & Nutella with other ingredients and stir until well combined.
  • Line a 9x13 pan with aluminum foil and then spray with cooking spray. Dump granola into 9x13 pan and spread until even and packed down.
  • Chill for at least an hour. Cut into bar size portions and individually wrap in saran wrap and store in ziploc bag in fridge!

Tips:

  • Use a food processor to quickly and easily chop the oats and nuts.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can use a rolling pin to crush the oats and nuts.
  • Be sure to measure the peanut butter correctly. Too much peanut butter will make the bars too soft, while too little peanut butter will make them too dry.
  • If you don't have honey, you can use maple syrup or agave nectar instead.
  • Be sure to press the granola mixture firmly into the pan. This will help the bars hold together.
  • Let the bars cool completely before cutting them. This will help prevent them from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Peanut Butter Granola Mini Bars are a delicious and healthy snack that are perfect for on-the-go. They're easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a tasty treat that the whole family will enjoy.
