So in the last granolabar post I told you I would do coconut and almond extract. Well here is what I did.
I wasnt happy with the way they were turning out, they were making more granola then bars, so I did what my gut told me and I boiled them.
The concept behind this came from no-bake cookies, you make them in such a way that the sugar acts like a binding agent that hold everything together, here us how I did it.
First put the butter in a pan that will be big enough to hold everything. Hea the butter at medium-low so you don't burn it, this is the key through the whole thing, do not burn or over cook.
When the butter is almost melted and add the brown sugar, wait till the sugar is combined and is starting to bubble, never stop stirring. Add the honey and stir til it starts to bubble.
Take off the heat and add the vanilla (I used almond) stir til combined
Add the flour and baking soda, stir til combined
Add mix ins, I put roasted coconut, craisins, raisins, and cut up walnuts. Add oats, mix.
Press into cookie sheet and bake till golden on edges. Let stand, cut, let cool, and eat.
These are by far my favorite! So yummy, not to sweet and are a wonderful snack.
Note: I cut mine into bit size pieces so that I can just pop them in without holding something for to long.
