Mango And Pineapple Granola Bars Recipes

MANGO AND PINEAPPLE GRANOLA BARS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325F and grease and line an 8x8 inch square pan.
• Place oats, chopped fruit and light brown sugar into a large bowl and stir until combined.
• Place the honey, oil and vanilla extract into a jug and lightly beat with a fork.
• Pour liquid measurements into dry and stir until all the oats are coated with the wet mix.
• Tip the granola mix into your lined pan and spread until level, either with the back of a spoon or your hand.
• Place in the oven for 30-35 minutes until golden and slightly firm to the touch.
• Leave to cool in the pan completely.
• Once cool, slice into 9-12 bars. Granola bars will keep in an airtight container, at room temperature, for 4 days.

COCONUT, CASHEW AND MANGO GRANOLA BARS

Steps:

• For the base: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Toss the oats with the butter on a rimmed baking sheet and spread in an even layer. Bake until toasted, 18 to 20 minutes. Let cool completely, then transfer to a large bowl. Stir in the cashews, macadamia nuts, and coconut.
• For the bars: Line a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with foil, leaving an overhang. Coat the foil with cooking spray.
• Combine the sugar, butter, honey, salt and vanilla in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally; the mixture will bubble and foam. Boil for 30 seconds, then pour over the oat mixture and stir. Let cool slightly, then stir in the ginger, mango and pineapple. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and press firmly with a rubber spatula to spread in an even layer.
• Let the bars stand at room temperature until completely cool and firm enough to slice, 1 to 3 hours. Lift out of the pan using the foil overhang and cut into 20 bars. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.

MANGO BARS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
• Combine flour, butter, and confectioners' sugar in a bowl. Stir in macadamia nuts. Press half of the mixture into a 1/2-inch-thick layer on the bottom of the prepared pan to make the crust.
• Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Stir mangoes, white sugar, 1/3 cup water, and lemon juice together in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat until mangoes reduce by 1/3, 7 to 10 minutes.
• Combine cornstarch and 3 tablespoons water in a small bowl. Pour into the mango mixture; cook until thickened, 5 to 7 minutes. Cool briefly and pour over the crust. Sprinkle the remaining flour mixture on top.
• Continue baking until lightly browned, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool until set, about 15 minutes. Cut into bars.
