Homemade Chewy Granola Bars

These homemade chewy granola bars are sure to become a favorite breakfast and snack your whole family will love.  Enjoy every healthy bite!

 

After making these bars the first time, my kids and husband told me not to buy the packaged granola bars anymore.

That made me incredibly happy since I wasn’t even sure if they were going to like these let alone love them the way they do.

My son Josh said these reminded him of Nutri-Grain Bars. You know what? He’s right. They do have a similar texture and taste.  

These bars are so delicious that you will forget you’re eating something healthy.

Great as a grab n’ go breakfast when rushing in the morning. No excuse not to eat a healthy breakfast when these bars are sitting on the counter.

The perfect snack for school and an after school snack and then there’s the late night with a hot cup of tea for mom.

What I do after the first day is, I wrap them individually then toss them in freezer bags.

Anyone who wants one can just grab and either heat in the microwave for a few seconds or wait a few minutes for them to thaw out.

I like them from the freezer when just starting to soften and the bars are still nice and cold of.

 Delicious warm from the oven or frozen, these are the perfect snack.

 A super granola bar that’s sure to be a hit with everyone you serve them to.

What’s in these homemade chewy granola bars?

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup raisins
  • 1 tbsp water + 1 tsp water
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar or coconut sugar
  • 2 tbsp canola, grape seed or avocado oil
  • 2 4 oz. jars baby applesauce, you can use regular applesauce but the baby is smoother in texture
  • 4 egg whites or 1 cup egg beaters
  • 2 tbsp milk of choice
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
  • 1/2 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 3 cups old fashioned oats
  • 1/3 cup chopped walnuts, this is optional or any nut of choice

How are homemade chewy granola bars made?

Directions:

  1. Place the raisins and water in a glass measuring cup and microwave for 1 minute. Mix the raisins so that they absorb the water.
  2. In a mini chopper, blend raisins until smooth. Pureeing the raisins intensifies their sweetness and gives the bars a lot of moisture. If you don’t want to puree the raisins, that’s Ok; just add them to the batter.
  3. Add the raisin puree to the wet ingredients.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk the flours, baking soda and cinnamon.
  5. Add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, and add the oats and walnuts. Mix everything together.
  6. Spread batter onto a 9 x 13 baking dish that has been sprayed with cooking spray.
  7. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake anywhere from 20 to 23 minutes, until light brown. You can test with a toothpick (it will come out clean or with moist to dry crumbs when ready).
  8. Before cutting the bars, let them cool. Cut into 24 bars.
