10 Minutes No Bake Granola Bars
Description
10 Minutes No Bake Granola Bars combine oats, cereal, coconut flakes, and mixed nuts in a sticky, warm syrup of butter, honey, and brown sugar. Cooking the ingredients together over medium heat until browned tempers the sweetness and results in a caramel-like coating that holds the bars together. Pressing the mixture firmly into a pan ensures they maintain shape once cooled.
The texture is a blend of chewy and crunchy from the various grains and nuts, without requiring baking. These bars can be cut into portions for snacks or quick energy throughout the day.
The recipe notes that the nutrition information excludes optional mix-ins like dried fruit or seeds. These bars should be cooled completely before slicing to retain firmness.
