Tasty Planner - Recipe - Maple Nut Granola Bars by Hebetuded

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
2. Butter a 9 × 9 baking pan for thick bars, or a 9 × 13 pan for thinner bars.
3. Combine the dry ingredients in a large bowl and mix well.
4. Combine the syrups and nut butters in a small saucepan.
5. Cook over low heat stirring constantly just until the mixture is smooth.
6. Pour the syrup mixture over the dry ingredients and stir well, making sure everything is well coated.
7. Scrape the granola mixture into the prepared pan.
8. Place a piece of wax paper over the granola and use your hand to pack the granola down into the pan. Press hard.
9. Peel off the wax paper and bake for about 30 minutes, until the surface is lightly browned and sort of crisp looking.
10. Let cool for a few minutes, then turn out onto a cutting board.
11. Cut into bars and allow to cool completely. If it falls apart when you turn it out of the pan, try pressing it back together with your hands while its still warm.
