A delightful and easy-to-make snack, perfect for on-the-go energy or a midday treat.
Combine the oats, sunflower seeds, ground flax seeds, dates, and cinnamon in a large mixing bowl.
Mix thoroughly to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
Stir occasionally to prevent the butter from burning.
Add the honey, light corn syrup, and brown sugar to the melted butter and stir until combined.
Ensure the sugar dissolves completely for a smooth mixture.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil and let it boil for one minute.
Stir continuously to avoid scorching.
Pour the hot mixture over the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl and stir until well combined.
Work quickly as the mixture will start to set as it cools.
Transfer the mixture into a greased baking pan and press it down firmly using a spatula or a sheet of foil.
Use a flat object like a small cutting board to press the mixture evenly.
Let the mixture cool completely in the pan before cutting it into squares.
Cooling allows the bars to set properly, making them easier to cut.
Serve and enjoy your homemade chewy nutty granola squares.
Store leftovers in an airtight container to keep them fresh.
