High Fiber Granola Bars Recipes

HIGH FIBRE GRANOLA BARS

Steps:

• Grease a 13x9 inch baking dish and a large spoon or spatula.
• In a large mixing bowl combine the first 8 ingredients.
• In a medium saucepan over medium low heat melt the butter.
• Stir in the corn syrup or honey and add the vanilla and brown sugar.
• Stir until the mixture starts just to bubble slightly. Do not boil the mixture it will burn easily.
• Remove from the heat and stir in the peanutbutter until combined and smooth.
• Pour the syrup-peanut butter mixture into the dry ingredients and mix together. You can add the chocolate chips now but they will melt into the mixture. I put them on the top at the end and just push them into the bars.
• Once combined transfer to the greased baking dish and using the greased spoon or spatula (you can use your hands if you get them wet first) flatten the mixture into the pan.
• Now is when I add the chocolate chips. Sprinkle them on top and just push them in with your fingers or the spatula.
• While the mixture is still soft and warm use a knife and cut into 24 bars.
• I store these in baggies 4 per bag in the refrigerator. They last a long time refrigerated but they also freeze well.

HOMEMADE GRANOLA BARS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter an 8 by 12-inch baking dish and line it with parchment paper.
• Toss the oatmeal, almonds, and coconut together on a sheet pan and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned. Transfer the mixture to a large mixing bowl and stir in the wheat germ.
• Reduce the oven temperature to 300 degrees F.
• Place the butter, honey, brown sugar, vanilla, and salt in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Cook and stir for a minute, then pour over the toasted oatmeal mixture. Add the dates, apricots, and cranberries and stir well.
• Pour the mixture into the prepared pan. Wet your fingers and lightly press the mixture evenly into the pan. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until light golden brown. Cool for at least 2 to 3 hours before cutting into squares. Serve at room temperature.

HIGH-FIBER, HIGH-PROTEIN BREAKFAST BARS

• Stir oats, wheat germ, flax seed, protein powder, cinnamon, and salt together in a bowl. Mash bananas in a separate large bowl and stir 1/4 cup Jif® peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract into bananas, mixing well. Stir dry ingredients into banana mixture and spread into the prepared baking dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Spread 1/4 cup natural peanut butter over top.
• Continue baking until lightly browned on the edges and set, 10 more minutes. Let cool in the pan and lift bars onto a work surface using aluminum foil as handles. Cut into bars, wrap in plastic wrap, and store in refrigerator.

HEALTHY GRANOLA BARS

Steps:

• Toast oats on a dry sheet pan at 400 degrees for 10min or until slightly brown and toasted.
• Whisk together eggs, egg whites, vanilla, oil, cinnamon, sugar and salt in a bowl.
• Add in oats, fruit, nuts and bran.
• Spread in a 8 by 11 pan that is lined with foil and sprayed with cooking spray.
• Cook at 325 degrees for 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool, cut and enjoy!
• If you use a bigger pan like a 9 by 13 your bars will be thiner and cook in approx 25min. Or use a smaller pan for thicker bars and cook an extra 5-10min.
