I finally have what I think is a perfect granola bar. I like them to where I feel like I'm cheating and need a cup of coffee or glass of milk. I like chewy with a crunch and has a rich peanut butter taste! So, if you like that then you will love these!
Remember to grease the wax paper. Ha! I probably would have enjoyed then more if I wasn't picking wax paper out of them all week.
Ingredients:
• 1 cup All Natural Creamy Peanut Butter
• 1/2 cup Organic Blue Agave Nectar (or Honey)
• 1/2 cup Pure Maple Syrup
• 1/2 cup Brown Sugar
• 1-1/2 cup Rolled Oats
• 3/4 cup Wheat Flour
• 1/4 cup Ground Flaxseed/Bran (optional)
• 1 tsp. Seat Salt
• 1/4 cup Sunflower Seeds
• 1/4 cup Organic Dried Cranberries
• 1/4 cup Wild Dried Blueberries
• 1/4 cup Semi-sweet Chocolate Chips
• 1/4 cup Pumpkin Seeds
Method Of Preparation:
1. Preheat oven to 350F.
2. In hot water, let cranberries soak to soften.
3. Cream the butter and sugar in a mixing bowl on medium speed.
4. After combined, add the syrups.
5. On low, add the oats then flour then flax or bran and season with salt. Taste test the dough.
6. Cover pan with wax paper and grease the paper. Choose an oil or butter.
7. Spatula the dough evenly into the pan. Add everything but chocolate chips on top.
8. Se timer for 20 min and watch from there. When it is golden brown around the edges it is done. The center will be a little doughy immediately so set aside and let cool. Add chocolate chips and press into the bar.
9. Pour a glass of milk and enjoy! Tastes great the next morning with a cup of coffee.
Hint: Cutting while warm seems to be easier. Enjoy!
