Granola and Granola Bars A simple to mix basic huge recipe. And additions to make into granola bars which are shelf-stable. ~Bars
In saucepan mix together and bring to a simmer to fully combine: 24 oz honey or maple 16 oz nut butter 15 oz oil 1 t salt In very large bowl measure: 56 oz (16 c) rolled oats 1 lb chopped or slivered nuts Stir warm sticky mixture into oat mixture. Press gently but firmly into 1 large (2/3) well oiled sheet pan. Maybe use the silpat even though it doesn't fit to the edges. Oil that too. Bake at convection bake 300* 30-45 minutes until golden brown but not too done or they will crumble. ~More with Less adds an egg and milk to make granola bars stick together. Lets try the nut butter first. In very large bowl measure:
56 oz (16 c) rolled oats In saucepan mix together and bring to a simmer to fully combine: 24 oz honey 15 oz (2 c) coconut oil, OR sunflower oil 1 t salt OR Mix togetherand bring to a simmer to fully combine: 22 oz pure maple syrup 15 oz (2 c) coconut oil, OR sunflower oil 1 t salt *Thoroughly combine and simmer to make a syrup where the fat is emulsified into the sweet. Can add a little water to facilitate the honey or maple syrup melting into the fat. ~Optional things to stir in now: VANILLA or cinnamon nuts unsweetened coconut flakes Generously oil baking sheets. Mix well and bake on two large (2/3 size) baking sheets at convection bake 300* 60 minutes until dried, crunchy and lightly browned. Stir edges to center as necessary. Add dried fruits just as it is finishing while you can stir it easily before it forms its chunks. Cool undisturbed to keep larger chunks. We all love those! ~I think you could also moisten the oats with milk and a bit of yogurt the night before. This might unravel some of the complex carbohydrates, making the oats themselves sweeter.
