Toasted Coconut Granola Bars Recipes

HOMEMADE GRANOLA WITH TOASTED COCONUT

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a ½ baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
• While the oven is preheating, combine Old Fashioned Oats, sliced almonds, pepitas and chia seeds to a large bowl and stir to combine.
• In the same bowl, add in coconut oil, honey and vanilla extract and stir until everything is evenly coated.
• Pour the granola onto the prepared cookie sheet and lightly press into a thin even layer. Place on the center rack of the oven and cook for 10 minutes.
• After 10 minutes, remove the granola from the oven and toss it then lightly press down with the back of a spoon to help everything stick together. Also, add the coconut flakes over top. Return to the oven and bake an additional 10-15 minutes until golden. Do not overbake.
• Once golden, remove from the oven, add the dried cherries over top and let cool for 1-2 hours on the baking sheet. Once cool, break apart and enjoy or store.

COCONUT GRANOLA BARS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the oats in a bowl and toss with the oil until thoroughly coated. Line a baking sheet or pan with parchment and spread the oats in an even layer on the parchment. Place in the oven and toast for about 20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the grains are lightly toasted. They should have darkened slightly and should smell toasty. Remove from the oven, return to the bowl, and add the coconut, spices, salt and nuts. Stir together. Turn the oven down to 300 degrees.
• Place the honey and vanilla in a saucepan or container that can accommodate at least three times the volume of the honey, and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat to low and simmer 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and pour over the oat mixture. Stir until the oat mixture is evenly coated with honey.
• Oil a 9-by-13-by-2-inch pan and line with parchment. Oil the parchment. Scrape the granola mixture into the pan and spread in an even layer. Place in the oven for 25 minutes, until just golden. Do not allow to become too brown, or the bars will be too hard. Remove from the heat and allow to cool completely, then cut into 2-inch squares. Some of the mixture may crumble when you do this, but crumbles are tasty little morsels! Store in a tin or container.
