Recipe
These are school-safe (no nuts) granola bars that use as little fat as possible - much better than the processed versions.
Yield: 12 to 16
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Ingredients
1 ½ cups (120 g) rolled oats (not instant or quick cook)
1 cup (100 g) quinoa flakes (or spelt, barley or further oats flakes)
½ cup (170 g) honey
¼ cup (45 g) virgin coconut oil
zest of 1 orange
1 tsp (5 mL) vanilla extract
½ tsp (2 mL) ground cinnamon
pinch salt
½ cup (60 g) unsalted, roasted shelled pumpkin seeds
¼ cup (30 g) unsalted, roasted sunflower seeds
½ cup (70 g) dried cranberries
½ cup (80 g) raisins
Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 350 F (175 C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper, and grease an 8-inch square pan and line it with parchment paper so that it comes up the sides of the pan.
2. Spread the oats and quinoa flakes (or other flakes) onto the baking tray and toast for about 12 minutes, stirring once, until lightly browned.
3. While the grains are toasting, heat the honey, coconut oil, orange zest, vanilla, cinnamon and salt until the coconut oil has melted. Place the pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, dried cranberries and raisins in a large mixing bowl.
4. Pour the toasted grains into the bowls with the seeds and fruit and add the warm honey mixture. Stir this well to fully coat everything and scrape this into the prepared pan. Press the granola mixture VERY firmly into the pan (using a flat dish helps to do so without sticking) - this ensures the bars will hold together when sliced. Bake the bars for about 15 minutes, until lightly browned at the edges. Cool the granola bars in the pan before slicing.
The granola bars will keep, well-wrapped and at room temperature, for a week, or they can be frozen for up to a month.

I tried your recipe but, as I live in the Philippines, I wanted to make sort of a tropical bar so I followed all of your procedures except as follows: I used 1 cup of multigrain cereal (which I pulsed in my food processor) instead of quinoa, I maintained your honey mixture except that I didn't have any coconut oil, so I used 1/4 cup of melted butter. Then I replaced all of your fruit, nut and seed ingredients with 1/4 cup desiccated coconut, 1/4 cup chopped dates, 1/4 cup dried mango, 1/4 cup dried pineapple, 1/2 cup raisins, and 1/4 cup almonds and 1/4 cup pecans (both of which were also pulsed in my food processor). The result was excellent. I felt so virtuous!

[@slmjdollano]

Hi! Have you tried leaving them in the pantry? If so, how long did it last? Thank you! Im planning of making them and im hoping that i can make batches that can last for a week.

[@luckydelauta3859]

@@slmjdollano I haven't tried leaving them in the pantry but they lasted more than a week in my refrigerator.

[@redblack5547]

So basically u didn't try her recipe, u just made Ur own

[@luckydelauta3859]

@@redblack5547 Yeah, pretty much.

[@skewedlines]

Man I did this, and for starters, sooooo much cheaper to make them than buying them. Also, waaay tastier than bought granules bars! And you can monitor thyroid sugar and calorie intake better with these! Thank you son much for this! Love all the way from nairobi kenya.

[@feathertail6327]

I love the way she narrates. She doesn’t say more than needed

[@nadineweaver6415]

Many classrooms don’t allow peanuts due to allergies. Seeds are not the same as nuts, so no allergies. Hope this helps.🙂

[@ibtissamatie273]

I agree

[@IvanaSapphire]

Exactly, she's educational not irritating

[@zareenbakash9097]

Mmm. That looks good

[@1607priyanka]

Absolutely right! She doesn’t say more than needed.

Just love how Anna simply gets into action without long boring nonsense. 🎉

I love all your recipes and the way you explain them and make me enjoy watching because they're not long ❤

[@raal3273]

Can’t wait to make this. You’re instructions are simple and to the point.

[@user-yc1bv1rx2z]

I seriously love how the whole kitchen looks

[@ohyum]

Thank you!

[@michellecolledge2355]

If I had a house and money, I would have a kitchen like that. The oven (although it is very high and I am only 4 foot 9 inches) and the drawers with the in-built containers with the lids.

[@Alice0030]

Omg I can't wait to try them, I love that you have the ingredients measured in grams too, that helps me a lot. I love your organised beautiful kitchen, a dream 😍😍😍

[@lballerina6725]

Excellent recipe by the way, Anna. I am going to try this one for sure.

[@KarleneA380]

I love this granola bar recipe, I've made it several times. I use puffed quinoa instead of the flakes and omit the orange (not a fan). I've even made a tropical version with toasted cashews, shredded coconut and dried mangoes. Oh yum!

[@ohyum]

Those sound amazing Karlene! Oh Yum indeed!

[@Benzema.aep_]

I made some today and they were delicious! I didn't have quinoa flakes, so I just replaced them with more rolled oats. I didn't have many seeds or dried fruit, so I just used raisins and almonds. They came out amazing!

Thank you for sharing ... I like your presentation ... neat and easy. Looks yummy. :-)

[@Papadoc1000]

I just did this one last night and cut it this morning and it turned out great. They were a little too sticky to stack in a container so I spread a little almond flour out on the cutting board and moved each bar through the flour. No more sticky and the flour is of course just almonds so it tastes great.
