Ingredients
- Old-fashioned oats
- 2 cups
- Almond butter
- 1/2 cup
- Honey
- 1/3 cup
- Dried raspberries
- 1 cup
- Chopped almonds
- 1/2 cup
- Ground flaxseed
- 1/4 cup
- Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon
- Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the old-fashioned oats, almond butter, honey, dried raspberries, chopped almonds, ground flaxseed, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Using a spatula or your hands, press the mixture down firmly to create an even layer, ensuring it is tightly packed.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges turn a golden brown and the center is set.
- Once baked, remove the dish from the oven and allow it to cool completely in the baking dish on a wire rack.
- After cooling, lift the granola slab out of the dish using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into bars of your desired size.
- Store the granola bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or refrigerate for longer freshness.
Tips
- Feel free to substitute dried raspberries with other dried fruits such as cranberries or apricots for a different flavor.
- For added sweetness, you can mix in dark chocolate chips or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
