This were supper yummy and so easy to make. I love having things that Elly can help me make in the kitchen. She loves to help especially when it comes to cooking/baking. Our first batch we made chocolate chip and they were so good that when she asked for them she calls them 'candy bars'. We ate them up in a matter of days. I'm sure that store bought one probably have less calories and maybe fat (becaue of the butter) But I like that I know exactly what goes into these!
Granola Bars
1/2 cup and 1/3 cup butter, softened (13 1/3 tbsp.)
1/2 cup honey (6 oz.)
1 tsp. vanilla
1/3 cup brown sugar (2.7 oz.)
4 1/2 cups oats (15 oz.)
1 cup whole wheat flour (4 1/2 oz.), or all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking soda
1 cup add-ins (i.e. chocolate chips, cranberries, etc.)
Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl (or stand mixer). Press into a greased 9x13 pan. Bake at 325ยบ for 20 minutes. Cool on a wire rack; gently press down on bars after baking to flatten (I use a small, flat cutting board to press down on them). Cut into bars. Store in an airtight container.
They look good!
ReplyDeleteThese look fantastic! I am definitely going to try making these with my nephew. He is a little over 2 and loves to help me in the kitchen. Plus, like you said, it is nice to know what is actually going into the things you make for them! :) Thanks for sharing! I am so glad you started a blog, lol.
ReplyDeleteElly is getting huge! Tell her to stop growing! :P
ReplyDeleteThe granola bars look awesome! You are doing a great job Maggie with getting to those tasks you wanted to do. And I too am glad you started a blog!
Oh, BTW, where did you get that blue pan? I'm loving the color!
