So today I decided to throw together a batch of granola bars.
*Feb 2013 - I changed the recipe a bit
Chocolate Chip Granola Bars
2/3 c. oil
1 c. sugar
3/4 c. water
1 tsp vanilla
Mix well.
Add:
1 c. oat bran
3 c. rolled oats
1 1/3 c. whole wheat flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
Mix to combine
Add:
1/3 c. ground flaxseeds
1/3 c. shredded coconut
1/3 c. sesame seeds
3/4 c. chocolate chips
Mix one more time.
Press it all into a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. It seemed a bit dry - so I used a pastry brush to brush the whole top with a little water. I didn't want to add too much water, as granola bars should bake pretty quickly! 10-15 min in the oven at 190 C should do it. Cut into bars and enjoy!
I'm really hoping to hide some away so the kids don't eat them all in one day...
Great! I've been looking for a decent g-bar recipe that holds together properly. Are these more crispy, or more chewy? I may add powdered milk, because I like the flavour they add to my homemade granola.
ReplyDeletesort of chewy... i'm sure you could pack the dough in thinner and watch carefully while baking so they come out crispier!
