    Granola Bars on the Go - Great for Breakfast or a Healthy Snack

    June 11, 2015 by Patti Estep 1 Comment

    Take your favorite standard granola recipe and turn it into granola bars that you can grab on the go. Great for breakfast or just a snack.

    Grab and Go Granola Bars

    Have you tried my granola recipe? I really love eating it with vanilla yogurt in the morning, or better yet, vanilla ice cream in the evening. It's a great source of fiber with oats, nuts, and dried cranberries. I would eat it every day if I had the time so I thought, I really need to make some granola bars that I can eat on the go.

    I went in search of granola bar recipes to find out what I might need to make my granola recipe into a bar. So many of the recipes I found were similar to mine. Two ideas seemed to stick out. The amount of honey I use is only 2 tablespoons, and the recipes I looked at for bars seemed to have more, so I doubled it to 1/4 cup. The other difference was that many people baked the granola.

    So I tried making bars by starting with my favorite granola recipe with the additional honey. I spread it into an 8 x 12-inch glass pan which I coated with cooking spray. I covered it with a piece of waxed paper and placed another smaller pan on top to evenly press the granola into the pan. You can also just use your hands.

    Take your favorite granola recipe and turn it into a bar that you can grab on the go.

    I removed the top pan and waxed paper and baked it for 20 minutes at 350 degrees and let it cool. The granola was still too soft at this point so I put it back in the oven for another 25 minutes until it started to look a little browned on the edges. Cooking it longer definitely did the trick. I may even consider cutting back on the honey again. Once it was cool I was able to cut it into bars, which totaled 12 for this recipe.

    How about you? Have you ever made granola bars? What's your secret?
