Ingredients
- 1 ⅔ cups rolled oats quick
- ⅓ cup oat flour see Note
- ¼ cup sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar packed
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 8 ounces wild blueberries dried
- 4 ounces almond roasted, sliced
- 3 ounces flaked coconut unsweetened
- 6 tablespoons butter melted
- ⅓ cup peanut butter creamy
- ¼ cup honey
- 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
- 1 tablespoon water
- ½ teaspoon almond extract pure
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° F. Line an 8" square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on 2 sides. Lightly spray with nonstick spray.
- In a large bowl, stir oats, oat flour, sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, dried blueberries, almonds, and coconut.
- In a small bowl, whisk melted butter, peanut butter, honey, corn syrup, water, and almond extract. Then stir wet ingredients into dry ingredients, combining until mixture is evenly coated and crumbly.
- Spread into prepared pan, pressing mixture firmly into an even layer. I like to use the buttery side of the butter wrapper to press the mixture down.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until bars are nicely browned around the edges. The center will be a bit soft, but will set once cooled completely. Remove from oven and let bars cool in the pan on a cooling rack.
- After cooling for 30 minutes, cut around the edge of the pan to loosen bars from pan, and lift up bars by pulling up on the overhanging parchment paper. Let bars rest again on cooling rack until completely cooled and set.
- Using a serrated knife (I like to use a thick-bladed bread knife), cut bars into squares. It helps to use a slightly sawing motion to cut through the top crust of the bars, applying only light pressure while cutting. This will give you cleaner cuts.
- Store granola bars in a sealed container, separated by layers of parchment or wax paper. If you know they will not be entirely eaten within a few days, store in the refrigerator or freezer. The granola bars freeze very well—place in individual baggies, or freeze in a sealed container with layers of parchment or wax paper separating them. Frozen granola bars taste freshest when eaten within 1 month. Remove from freezer to thaw prior to eating.
Notes
- Note: To make oat flour, simply process quick rolled oats in a food processor or blender until finely ground.
