I’ve created a chewy homemade granola bar recipe that’s a breeze to make, featuring oats, honey, and your favorite nuts and dried fruits.

Ingredients

  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 6 tbsp packed brown sugar
  • 2/3 cup honey
  • 3 cups oats (rolled)
  • 1 1/2 cups rice krispies cereal
  • 1/2 cup crushed graham crackers (pieces and crumbs)
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup cereal marshmallows

Instructions

  • Gather Your Ingredients: Measure out oats, honey, nut butter, mixed nuts, and dried fruits, ensuring freshness. Let aromas be nutty and rich, with honey’s slight sweetness.
  • Melt and Mix the Wet Ingredients: Gently heat honey and nut butter over low heat until smooth and fragrant, taking care not to burn.
  • Combine Dry Ingredients: Mix oats, nuts, and dried fruits in a bowl, distributing components evenly.
  • Blend Together: Pour the melted mix over dry ingredients, stirring with a spatula to coat all oats in the glossy mix.
  • Press into a Pan: Line a baking dish with parchment paper, press the mixture into an even, compact layer.
  • Chill and Set: Refrigerate for at least two hours until firm, enhancing flavor and chewiness.
  • Cut and Serve: Slice into bars and enjoy the crunchy nuts and rich caramel aroma.
