Homemade Crunchy Granola Bars
- 3¼ cups rolled oats
- ⅔ cups flour (I use freshly ground soft white wheat)
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar or sucanat
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ⅔ cup honey
- ⅓ cup melted coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- In a large bowl, mix oats, flour, brown sugar, baking soda, and salt.
- Add honey, coconut oil, and vanilla, stirring until well combined.
- Press mixture down into a parchment paper-lined 9x13 pan.
- Bake in a 350 degree oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
- Remove pan from oven, and press the bars down with another piece of parchment paper so that they stay nice and tight while cooling.
- After 15 minutes, remove the bars from the pan to cool for a few more minutes.
- Cut them into 12 bars or break into snack-sized bites.
- Allow approximately 2 hours for the bars to become crunchy.
