  • 4 tablespoons light brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Line a 9”x13” jelly roll pan with plastic wrap. Spray with nonstick cooking spray, then set aside.
  2. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the coconut oil, honey and brown sugar. Heat over medium-high heat, stirring until the coconut oil melts and the brown sugar melds into the liquid.
  3. Remove the saucepan from the heat, and add the vanilla extract and salt. Set aside.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the Grape Nuts, Great Grains, rolled oats, pecans and dried cranberries. Stir until the ingredients are well-mixed.
  5. Pour the warm liquid ingredients over the dry ingredients, then stir until everything is coated.
  6. Pour the granola into the prepared pan, and spread out evenly using a plastic spatula. Press down onto the bars with the spatula so the mixture is firmly packed. If it is not, the bars will be crumbly.
  7. Transfer the pan to the refrigerator, then chill for 1-2 hours.
  8. When chilled, remove from the refrigerator. Cut into 1½” x 4½” bars, and enjoy!

Notes

  • Recipe adapted from Feast + West’s Chewy Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Granola Bars.
  • Store the granola bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Be sure to separate the layers with parchment paper so they don’t stick together.
