Tips:

  • Choose the right oats. Old-fashioned rolled oats are the best choice for granola bars because they hold their shape well and have a chewy texture. Quick-cooking oats or steel-cut oats will not work as well.
  • Use a variety of nuts and seeds. This will give your granola bars a more interesting flavor and texture. Some good options include almonds, walnuts, pecans, chia seeds, and sunflower seeds.
  • Don't overbake the granola bars. They should be golden brown but still soft in the center. If you overbake them, they will be dry and crumbly.
  • Let the granola bars cool completely before cutting them. This will help them to hold their shape better.
  • Store the granola bars in an airtight container at room temperature. They will keep for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

These homemade sweet n' salty granola bars are a delicious and healthy snack that is perfect for on-the-go. They are made with simple ingredients and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make the perfect granola bars every time.
