Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ½ tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup quick-cooking oats
  • ½ cup old fashioned rolled oats
  • ¼ roughly chopped peanuts
  • ¼ cup sliced or roughly chopped almonds
  • ⅓ cup raisins
  • Pinch of salt

Wet ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon melted butter
  • 2 tablespoon honey
  • 1 large egg at room temperature
  • ¼ cup brown sugar packed
  • 1 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350F/180C.
  • Line 8x8 inch square pan or 10x6 inch pan with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, add the melted butter, honey, vanilla, brown sugar, and an egg. Beat well until combined.
  • Now add the cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and flour to wet ingredients and mix well.
  • Add the rolled and quick oats mix and then add to it the raisins and the chopped nuts mix with a spatula.
  • Transfer the granola mixture to the previously prepared baking pan. Using a spatula spread the granola evenly in the pan. To make sure that the granola is spread evenly, place a parchment paper over the granola and press it down by your hand or the back of a measuring cup.
  • Bake for 25 minutes.
  • Let the granola cool. Cut to even bars using a sharp or a serrated knife.

Notes

  • You can use the nuts you have available at home instead of what is mentioned in the recipe.
  • If you wish you can only use one type of oats in this recipe, but keep in mind that using only quick oats the granola bars will turn out very chewy and soft.
  • You can either use roasted nuts or raw nuts since they will get roasted in the oven.
  • Granola bars can be thick or thin, it all depends on how crunchy or chewy you like them.
  • For thinner granola bars use larger baking pan or sheet.
  • The baking time will be less than 25 minutes so keep an eye on it.
