Honey Oat Granola Bars
Description
These Honey Oat Granola Bars start by toasting rolled oats and almonds to amplify their nutty flavors and provide a firm base. A glaze made from melted butter, honey, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, salt, and ground flaxseed coats the toasted mixture, acting as a binder. The combined mixture is pressed evenly into a lined baking pan, chilled until set, and then cut into bars.
The resulting bars have a balance of chewy oat texture and the crunch from almonds, with subtle sweetness and warm spice notes. These bars are convenient snacks with a homemade, wholesome quality that does not rely on complicated ingredients.
You can store the granola bars in an airtight container either at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to one week, maintaining their texture and freshness.
Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup almonds chopping optional, whole
- ¼ cup honey
- ¼ cup dark brown sugar
- ¼ cup butter unsalted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons Flaxseed ground
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and line a rimmed half baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Spread the oats and chopped almonds in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet and bake until light brown and smelling toasty, stirring regularly, about 10-15 minutes.
- Line an 8” x 8” baking pan with parchment paper.
- While the oats and almonds are toasting, combine the honey, brown sugar, and butter in a heavy-bottomed medium saucepan over medium heat and stir until melted. Stir in salt, cinnamon, and vanilla, then fold in the toasted oats mixture and ground flaxseed until evenly distributed.
- Scrape into prepared baking pan and spread out. Use a piece of parchment paper to press down and level out the mixture to the edges.
- Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours. Once solid, lift from the pan using the parchment paper, and use a very sharp knife to cut into 12 granola bars.
Notes
- Store the granola bars in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge for up to 7 days.
