Granola Bark Recipes

GRANOLA BARK

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°F. In a large bowl, whisk egg white until frothy; whisk in brown sugar, maple syrup, and oil. Add oats, coconut, almonds, pepitas, flaxseeds, almond flour, cinnamon, and salt; stir to combine.
• Firmly press mixture evenly into bottom and all the way to edges of a parchment-lined 9-by-13-inch rimmed baking sheet or pan.
• Bake, rotating once, until golden and crisp, about 45 minutes. Let cool completely; break into pieces. Store in an airtight container at room temperature up to 1 week or freeze up to 3 months.

STRAWBERRY GRANOLA YOGURT BARK

Steps:

• In a small bowl (or even in the yogurt container), mix together the yogurt and honey.
• Spread the mixture into the bottom of a 9 x 13 inch pan that has been covered in aluminum foil.
• Sprinkle the strawberries and the granola over the top of the yogurt, slightly pressing it into the yogurt with your hands.
• Freeze for about 1 hour, or until completely frozen.
• Remove from freezer, and cut into about 12 slices (I used a pizza cutter). Serve immediately, or keep in freezer in a freezer-safe bag or container for up to 30 days.

GRANOLA BARK

Steps:

• Combine the cinnamon, oats, almonds, coconut, flax or chia seeds, sesame seeds, and almond flour or hazelnut flour in a large bowl.
• Preheat the oven to 325°F/165°C. Line a 13 by 18 inch/33 by 46cm rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
• Combine the maple syrup or honey or a mix of both, coconut sugar, water, vanilla, and salt in a small saucepan and bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar and salt. Remove from the heat and let cool to warm room temperature.
• Add the olive oil and egg white to the cooled syrup mixture and whisk to incorporate. Pour over the oats mixture and mix well.
• Spread the mixture evenly across the prepared baking sheet. Using another same-size baking sheet or the bottom of a pot, press the mixture down firmly to compact it before baking. Bake for 45 minutes or longer, until dark golden brown, rotating the sheet after about 15 minutes to promote even browning. While the granola bakes, open the oven door a couple of times to release steam.
• Set the baking sheet on a cooling rack until the surface of the granola is crisp. Leave the oven on. If the surface is still tacky to the touch once it has cooled, return the pan to the oven and continue baking for another 10 to 15 minutes, checking every 5 minutes. Don't let the bark get too dark, or it'll taste bitter.
• Once cool, break the bark into pieces and store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks, or in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
