Ingredients
- 2 cups old fashioned oats
- ⅓ cup almonds slivered
- ⅔ cup macadamia nuts roughly chopped
- 1 cup coconut shredded, sweetened
- ½ cup wheat germ toasted
- 2 tablespoons butter unsalted
- ⅓ cup honey
- ⅓ cup almond butter organic
- ¼ cup light brown sugar packed
- 1 teaspoon coconut extract
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ cup dried pineapple chopped
- ½ cup dried cranberries
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line an 8x12 baking pan with parchment paper.
- Combine the oatmeal, coconut, almonds, and macadamia nuts together on a sheet pan. Bake for 10 minutes until lightly toasted. Transfer to a large mixing bowl. Add the wheat germ and toss to combine.
- Reduce oven temperature to 300 degrees.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the butter, honey, almond butter, brown sugar and salt. Bring to a boil stirring constantly and cook for about a minute. Remove from heat and stir in the coconut extract. Pour the mixture over the oatmeal. Add the pineapple and cranberries and using a rubber spatula, stir well to combine.
- Pour the granola mixture into the prepared pan. Spread it into an even layer and press down very firmly on the granola mixture with your hands so that it forms a tight structure in the pan.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes.
- Cool for 2-3 hours before cutting into bars. Store in an airtight container for up to a week.
