These granola bars are so easy and there are so many options you can try a new flavor each week or create your own with what you find in your pantry. Ingredients:
200 g margarine |
2 tablespoons honey or 2 tablespoons maple syrup |
1 cup white sugar or 1 cup brown sugar |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
2 cups flour |
2 cups quick oats |
1/2 cup nuts (optional) |
1/4 cup peanut butter (optional) |
cinnamon (optional) |
ginger (optional) |
ground cloves (optional) |
1/2 bag your favorite chocolate chips or 1/2 bag peanut butter chips or 1/2 bag butterscotch chips or 1/2 bag cinnamon bark |
Directions:
1. First melt the margarine and honey in a saucpan on the stove or in a micro-safe container.
2. Add all the other ingredients and mix well.
3. (It tastes good at this point, but try not to eat it all).
4. At this point you can add one or two of the optional ingredients.
5. Switch honey and white sugar to maple syrup and brown sugar.
6. Or add 1 cup chopped peanuts and a 1/4 cup of peanut butter.
7. Then pour choc chips on top after baked and spread.
8. Or add cinnamon, groung cloves and ginger.
9. Or add chopped or crushed nuts of your choice.
10. And or add half the bag chips (any flavor) to the mix as well as melting on top.
11. Use your imagination and anything you find left in the pantry!
12. Press hard onto a cookie sheet.
13. I usually line it with foil.
14. Bake at 320 for 15 minutes.
15. It will puff up.
16. Remove from the oven and evenly sprinkle half a bag of your favorite flavor chips on top.
17. Wait a minute and then spread with a spatula.
18. Careful not to pick up the spatula, but just keep spreading.
19. You MUST cut into squares while still hot.
20. They taste great hot and cold.
21. Store for a week in an airtight container or they freeze great and even taste good frozen if you are sneaking them out of the freezer!
