Easy Homemade Granola Bars Recipe

Ingredients

• cooking spray
• 2 cups rolled oats
• 0.5 cup shredded coconut
• 0.5 cup honey
• 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.13 teaspoon salt

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease a 9x9 inch baking pan. Gather all ingredients for the granola bars.
2. Spread oats and coconut in a single layer on a baking sheet. Toast in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl.
3. In a saucepan, combine honey, peanut butter, vanilla extract, and salt over medium-low heat. Stir until smooth and fully combined.
4. Pour the honey mixture over the toasted oats and coconut. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are evenly coated. Press the mixture firmly into the prepared baking dish.
5. Bake in the preheated oven until the granola bars are set, about 15 minutes for crunchy bars, or less for chewier bars.
6. Let the granola bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
