Description
These Pecan Cranberry Granola Bars are chewy, easy to make, and make a healthy snack.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups pecans, roughly chopped
- 1 cup old fashioned rolled oats
- 1/3 cup chia seeds
- 1/3 cup flaxseed meal
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 eggs
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1 cup dried cranberries
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Line a 9X11 inch baking dish with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, mix together the pecans, oats, chia seeds, flaxseed meal, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
- Add the eggs and honey and mix well.
- Stir in the cranberries until evenly distributed.
- Press the mixture into the baking dish lined with parchment paper.
- Take a second piece of parchment paper and press it down on top of the mixture. Use something heavy, like a canned good, to press the mixture down very firmly. *Important–don’t skip this step as it helps ensure the bars hold together well.* Save the piece of parchment paper for after baking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 13 minutes.
- Put the parchment paper on top of the mixture again, pressing it down firmly one more time.
- Place the dish in the fridge until cooled completely, at least 20 minutes.
- Pull the parchment paper out of the pan and cut the mixture into 18 bars. Enjoy!
