Yield 20

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 cup canola oil, plus additional for the pan and for your hands
7 ounces (2 cups) rolled oats
1 1/2 ounces (1 heaped cup) flaked coconut
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt (optional)
1/2 cup mild honey, like clover
1 teaspoon vanilla
4 ounces (1 cup) lightly toasted nuts, like almonds and pecans, coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the oats in a bowl and toss with the oil until thoroughly coated. Line a baking sheet or pan with parchment and spread the oats in an even layer on the parchment. Place in the oven and toast for about 20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the grains are lightly toasted. They should have darkened slightly and should smell toasty. Remove from the oven, return to the bowl, and add the coconut, spices, salt and nuts. Stir together. Turn the oven down to 300 degrees. 2. Place the honey and vanilla in a saucepan or container that can accommodate at least three times the volume of the honey, and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat to low and simmer 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and pour over the oat mixture. Stir until the oat mixture is evenly coated with honey. 3. Oil a 9-by-13-by-2-inch pan and line with parchment. Oil the parchment. Scrape the granola mixture into the pan and spread in an even layer. Place in the oven for 25 minutes, until just golden. Do not allow to become too brown, or the bars will be too hard. Remove from the heat and allow to cool completely, then cut into 2-inch squares. Some of the mixture may crumble when you do this, but crumbles are tasty little morsels! Store in a tin or container.

Meh. These granola bars are just okay. They're not bad, but they're not great either. I probably won't make them again.

These granola bars are a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of honey next time.

These are the best granola bars I've ever had! They're so flavorful and satisfying. I love the combination of oats, nuts, seeds, and coconut. And the honey and coconut oil give them a perfect sweetness.

I love how easy these granola bars are to make. I can just throw all the ingredients in a bowl and mix them together. No need to fuss with a food processor or oven.

These granola bars were a hit! I made them for my family and they loved them. They're the perfect combination of chewy and crunchy, with a delicious coconut flavor. I'll definitely be making these again.
