Granola Breakfast Bars Category: Recipes
Yesterday I came across this recipe via tastespotting. Now I’ve been on the look out for something like this for ages and as we’d made some granola a few weeks ago, I had the ingredients in to give it a go.
It was very quick and easy - I adapted the recipe & amounts to what we had in and I didn’t want too much sauce to glue it all together…
It went something like this:
- 450ml cups of oats
- a good shake of oat bran
- 80ml packet of mixed seeds (sesame, pumpkin and sunflower, i think!)
- 100ml cup of desicated coconut
- 150ml honey
- 150mlsoft brown sugar
- 2 teaspoon vanilla essence
- 50g butter
- pinch salt
(sorry everything is in ml - from the American cups, i used a jug with cups conversion)
- Put oven on 200°c
- Measure out oats, oat bran and seeds on baking tray and pop in the oven for 10/15 minutes but keep moving the oats around every couple of minutes
- Whilst oats are toasting, put the honey, sugar, vanilla essence, butter and salt in a pan and warm though until melted
- When the oats are toasted, transfer to a mixing bowl and the sultanas and coconut
- Pour over the ’sauce’ and mix thoroughly
- Line a dish with greaseproof paper and put the granola mixture in, pack down tightly
- After 3 hours you can take it out and cut into pieces
Ours made enough for us to have for breakfast at work next week - as we have been making an early start due to some 12 weeks of roadworks enroute.

These look tasty! I bet they’d be good subbing in some grade B maple syrup for the honey too.
