Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup Rolled Oats
- ¾ cup Almonds crushed
- 2 tbsp Seeds melon, mixed, pumpkin, sunflower
Dried Fruits
- 2 tbsp Strawberries dried
- 2 tbsp Cranberries dried
- 2 tbsp Mango dried
- 2 tbsp Pineapple dried
- 2 tbsp Apricots dried
Wet Ingredients
- 2 tbsp Honey
- 3 tbsp Peanut Butter
Instructions
- Lightly toast the rolled oats in a dry skillet over low heat for about 2 minutes, or until fragrant and lightly golden. This enhances their nutty flavor. Set aside to cool.
- In the same skillet, toast the crushed almonds and mixed seeds until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Be careful not to burn them. Set aside to cool.
- In a medium bowl, combine the toasted oats, almonds, and seeds.
- Add the dried strawberries, cranberries, mango, pineapple, and apricots to the bowl.
- In a separate small bowl, combine the honey and peanut butter. Microwave for 15-20 seconds to make it easier to stir, if needed.
- Pour the honey-peanut butter mixture over the dry ingredients and stir until everything is well combined and evenly coated.
- Line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides to make it easier to lift the bars out later.
- Transfer the granola mixture to the prepared dish and press down firmly with a spatula or your hands to create a compact, even layer. Packing it tightly ensures the bars will hold their shape.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until firm.
- Lift the set granola bar block out of the dish using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into 10 bars.
- Store the granola bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or in the refrigerator for longer storage.
