Homemade Granola Bar

Today's recipe is not a Korean dish but I would like to write it down in my blog to keep as my future reference because these granola bars is so yummy!  I like the nutty flavour and the crunchiness texture and how it serves as a super easy, fast but high nutritious breakfast/snack in my family.  Can't stop munching~~
I came across this recipe from a homecook group that I join in Facebook.
Recipe adopted from: FB Daily Homecook Meal (Zac Ng) & http://mybakerlady.com


Serving: About 24 bars (1.5 x 3 inch)
Ingredients:
3 & 1/2 Cup Rolled oats
1/4 Cup Canola & Sunflower oil
1/4 tsp Salt
1 cups Dried fruits & mix nuts (I used chopped walnut, pumpkin seed, sunflower seed, chia seed, black sesame, white sesame, dried mix raisins)
1/4 Cup Honey
4 tbsp Brown sugar
1 tsp cinnamon powder
Baking tray size: 9 x 13 inch

  1. Preheat oven 180°C.  Prepare a big bowl, mix rolled oats, salt and oil until well coated.
  2. Prepare tray line with aluminium foil, pour the mixture in step 1 and spread them evenly on the tray, bake over 180°C for 8 minute, stir and continue to bake for another 8 to 10 minutes until the oats turn pale gold.
  3. Remove the oats and adjust the oven temperature to 150°C.
  4. Prepare a bowl, mix in all dried fruits, nuts oats.
  5. Prepare a pan, pour in honey and brown sugar.  Keep stirring until the brown sugar dissolves over medium low fire.
  6. Off the fire and add in cinnamon powder.  Keep stirring.
  7. Add the honey mixture to the dried fruits, nuts and oats.  Stir until well combined.
  8. Line a baking sheet in the tray, pour the mixture in step 7 using a non-stick spatula and spread evenly all over the tray.
  9. Line another baking sheet on top of the mixture and get another same size tray to press on the mixture so that the mixture will have a tight and even height.  (If you do not have another same size tray, just use the spatula and press tightly).
  10. Place the tray in the oven and bake for about 30 minutes (150°C) or until golden brown.
  11. Take out the tray and cool on a wire rack for 10 to 12  minutes and cut them into bars using knife.  Do not cool down too long where the mixture might be harden and hard to cut later.  Place the cut granola bars on wire rack until they are completely cool down.
  12. Store in fridge for longer freshness :)

*Adjust the sweetness according to your preference by adjusting the brown sugar volume.
