Ingredients
3 cups of old fashioned rolled oats
1 cup of sweetened coconut flakes
1/2 cup of pumpkin seeds
1/2 cup of sliced almonds
1/2 cup of honey
1/4 cup of dark brown sugar lightly packed
2 tablespoons of maple syrup
1 tablespoon of unsalted butter
2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon of salt
1/2 cup of golden raisins
1/2 cup of dried cranberries
1 large white egg lightly beaten
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 9 x 13-inch baking pan with a long sheet of aluminum foil to overhang the long ends by 1 1/2-inches.
- Combine the oats, coconut, pumpkin sees, and almonds in a large bowl. Spread mixture out evenly on a large baking sheet. Bake, stirring occasionally, until lightly toasted, 14-15 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl. Reduce the oven temperature to 300°F.
- Combine the honey, sugar, maple syrup, butter, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring often, until the butter melts and the sugar dissolves, about 2-3 minutes. Pour over the oat mixture, add the raisins and cranberries and mix well with a rubber spatula. Add the egg white and mix well. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking pan and with lightly moist hands gently press down to evenly distribute.
- Bake until the oat mixture is lightly browned, 26-28 minutes. Cool completely, about 1 hour. Use the aluminum foil to lift the granola bar out of the pan and transfer it to a cutting board, carefully removing the foil. Cut into 16 bars. Store in an airtight container up to 2 weeks.
