My husband is a fan of Granola bars and I make this regularly for his snack. This recipe doesn't call for All purpose flour. You can find the original source here I tried couple of recipes and liked this one better than the others. Since then, I stopped spending bucks on buying this outside. I am following this recipe. Also its good to make at home as I make my own modifications every time to vary the flavors. I did few additions to the original recipe, like adding coconut powder and condensed milk, sometime caramel syrup etc for an extra flavor. Otherwise no big changes.
Try it, Enjoy !
Ingredients:
Oats - 4 Cup
Brown Sugar - 1 Cup
Salt - 1/4 tsp
Melted unsalted Butter - 2/3 Cup
Honey - 1/3 Cup
Nuts - 1 Cup (Or per your choice)
Raisins - 1/4 Cup (Or per your choice)
Optional Ingredients to give extra flavour:
Cinnamon Powder - 1/2 tsp
Condensed Milk (or)Caramel syrup- 1 tbsp
Vanilla - couple of drops
Chocolate Chips - a handful
Dry Coconut Powder - a handful
I used chopped Almonds/Walnuts and sometimes Peanuts too.
You can really play around with your choice of optional add-ons adding them however less or more per your choice.
I have no idea why one day I tried adding caramel syrup into this, but I dont regret it, it gives an excellent taste to this.
Use a big bowl, Mix dry ingredients first, mix well. Then add the rest. Mix until they are well combined.
They might not be of the form to hold a shape, will be a little loose but they will set once they are baked.
Take a 9x13" baking dish,line with parchment paper/foil and stuff in the granola mixture and tighten them using ur palm or more preferably a flat plate or something.
Bake at preheated 350' oven for about 20-30 mins. You can see the sides will start to brown. You might stretch the period if u like ur granolas on the crispier side. We like it a bit chewy, so I take it off at this point.It is really suggested to take a peek at about 20 mins, as oven timings vary.
Cool down for 2 hrs atleast. Cut into squares or rectangles.
P.S: They tend to harden much more when cooled for couple of hours.

Oats is such a versatile food, loaded with fibre and almost nil amount of calories! Many people are put off by the glueyness of oats when they are cooked, but this recipe is unique and novel, and well worth a try!
