Here is a good alternative to a commercially made granola bar. It's a flexible recipe, allowing for any number of additions: dried cherries, pistachios, peanuts, dates, orange zest. You could substitute a dried fruit purée (directions are in the notes) for the honey and brown sugar, providing a complex twist on the binding agents. You could add chocolate. Coconut. The possibilities are endless.

Yield Makes 18

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups old-fashioned oats
1/2 cup packed brown raisins
1/2 cup chopped pecans, toasted
1 1/4 teaspoons ground cardamom
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter
1/3 cup packed dark brown sugar
3 tablespoons honey

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 9-inch square baking pan with foil, allowing foil to extend over sides. Butter foil. Mix oats, raisins, pecans and cardamom in bowl. Combine butter, sugar and honey in medium saucepan. Stir over medium heat until butter melts and mixture is smooth and begins to boil. Pour butter mixture over oat mixture and stir until well coated. Transfer to prepared pan. Using spatula, press mixture evenly into pan.
  • Bake oat mixture until top is golden brown, about 30 minutes. Transfer to rack and cool. Using foil as aid, lift out of pan; place on work surface. Using large sharp knife, cut into 18 bars.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your granola bars.
  • Don't overcook the oats. They should be chewy, not crunchy.
  • Let the granola bars cool completely before cutting them. This will help them to hold their shape.
  • Store the granola bars in an airtight container at room temperature. They will keep for up to 2 weeks.
  • Experiment with different flavors. You can add dried fruit, nuts, seeds, or spices to your granola bars to create different flavor combinations.
