Honey Oat Granola Bars

Chewy, golden, and naturally sweet — these honey oat granola bars deliver a comforting bite of toasted oats and fruit, all built on a soft, buttery crust made with our fresh, stone-milled Organic All-Purpose Flour. It’s wholesome snacking, the way nature intended.

Ingredients

For the Crust

• 1 cup Farm2Flour All-Purpose or Einkorn flour
• ¼ tsp baking soda
• ¼ tsp salt
• ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
• ⅓ cup honey
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Granola Layer

• 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  
• ½ tsp cinnamon
• ¼ tsp salt
• ⅓ cup honey
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter
• ¼ cup brown sugar (optional, for extra sweetness)
• ½ tsp vanilla extract
• ½ cup dried fruit (optional – cranberries, cherries, raisins, etc.)

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8x8-inch pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy removal.
   
   
2. Make the crust: In a bowl, mix flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir in melted butter, honey, and vanilla until a soft dough forms. Press evenly into the bottom of the pan. Bake for 10–12 minutes until lightly golden.
   
   
3. Prepare the granola layer: While the crust bakes, mix oats, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl. In a small saucepan over low heat, melt together honey, butter, brown sugar (if using), and vanilla. Pour over oat mixture and stir to coat.
   
   
4. Assemble and bake: Carefully spread the granola mixture over the pre-baked crust, pressing gently to flatten. Bake for 18–22 minutes until the top is golden and set.
   
   
5. Cool and slice: Let cool completely in the pan. Use parchment to lift out, then slice into bars or squares. For cleaner cuts, chill in the fridge for 20 minutes before slicing.
