Time 40m

Yield 20 Granola Bars, 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup peanut butter (creamy or crunchy) or 1/2 cup almond butter (if you want to make almond granola bars)
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups gluten-free oats
2 cups almonds
1 cup dried cherries

Steps:

  • Butter an 8 X 10 inch pan generously OR line it with parchment paper than also comes up the sides of the pan about 1/2 of an inch.
  • Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  • Toast your nuts/seeds in the oven for a few minutes until slightly golden. While you are doing this, make your "granola glue" or peanut butter sauce.
  • To make the "granola glue" or peanut butter sauce, combine honey and brown sugar in a small saucepan. Heat, while stirring, until the brown sugar dissolves. Bring mixture to a simmer and simmer for 1-2 minutes until evenly foamy/bubbly on top. Remove from the heat. Add one teaspoon vanilla extract. Stir (it will steam a bit). Add peanut butter and stir briskly until lumps are gone and the consistency is uniform.
  • Mix granola base (oats or cereal) with your toasted nuts/seeds. Pour peanut butter mixture over the top and stir until evenly distributed. Add dried fruit and stir again to distribute.
  • Pour mixture into pan (on to parchment paper). Spread evenly and then press down in to the bottom of the pan. Press the granola together firmly.
  • Bake for 20 minutes at 350°F.
  • Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely (it will firm up as it cools) before cutting.
  • Cut into bars (1″ wide and 4″ long). Wrap bars in cling wrap or wax paper and store in a Ziploc bag or airtight container on the counter until consumed. (I've store mine up to 10 days, but it depends on the weather.) These can be refrigerated; however, I haven't tried freezing them yet.

These granola bars are a great way to use up leftover oats. They're also a great healthy snack for on the go. I like to add a little bit of chocolate chips to the mixture to make them a little more decadent.

These granola bars turned out great! They're a bit crumbly, but that's to be expected with a gluten-free recipe. The flavor is really good and they're very filling. I'll definitely be making these again.
