KS Granola Bars

  • Number of Servings: 24
Ingredients
3/4 c. butter, softened3/4 c. honey4½ c. rolled oats1 c. whole wheat or spelt flour1 tsp. vanilla1 tsp. baking soda1/2 c. pumpkin seeds1/2 c. unsweetened coconut
Directions
Lightly butter a 9”×13” glass pan.

In a large mixing bowl, cream butter, honey, and vanilla. Tip: If your butter isn’t softened, use a rolling pin and roll it between two sheets of wax paper. Or mash it with your hands while in the wrapper. Our secret.

Add the oats, flour, and baking soda. Beat well until combined.

Stir in add-ins by hand. Press mixture hard into pan. (You can use your hands!)

Bake at 325 degrees F for 15-22 minutes until just golden brown on the edges. You will think they are too soft. They are not. Just remind yourself that there's not even any egg in the recipe, so you can't hurt anybody if you underbake.

Allow to cool for at least 10 minutes before cutting into bars. Let bars cool completely in pan before removing and serving. Store at room temperature or freeze.
