Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup whole almonds chopping optional
- ¼ cup honey
- ¼ cup dark brown sugar
- ¼ cup unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
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.
