Ingredients
- 1 ½ cup old-fashioned oats
- 1/2 cup bran flakes cereal crushed
- 1/2 cup crispy rice cereal
- 1/2 cup sliced almonds
- 1/4 cup raisins
- 1/4 cup dried cranberries
- 1/2 cup honey
- 3 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees with a rack in the middle of the oven. Line an 8 x 8-inch square pan with parchment, leaving a little extra to hang over the edges. This will be helpful once they have been baked and are cooled. Coat the parchment paper with a non-stick spray.
- In a medium bowl combine the dry ingredients; oats, bran flakes, nuts, and raisins.
- In a glass measuring cup, add honey, peanut butter, salt, cinnamon, and vanilla. Microwave until warm, 10-15 seconds, and stir to combine.
- Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and use a spatula to scrape every last drop. Stir together until all dry ingredients are coated with the honey, peanut butter mixture and begin to clump together.
- Press granola into prepared pan, pressing firmly with wet or lightly oiled hands.
- Bake the bars for 20-25 minutes until you see a golden brown color on top. I like to see a slightly brown and crunchy top.
